(Flanders, N.Y., Nov. 29, 2023) – Beloved Long Island Ducks Mascot, QuackerJack, made a guest appearance to take pictures and help spread holiday cheer on Wednesday at the annual Flanders Big Duck Lighting.

The Big Duck Lighting, now in its 35th year, hosted hundreds of families from across Long Island for a night of bright lights, duck-themed carols and even a visit from Santa.

The festivities kicked off at 7:00 p.m., where those in attendance were first welcomed with duck puns and jokes from Town of Southampton Supervisor, Jay Schneiderman, before the Riverhead Middle School Show Choir took the stage for a holiday cheer-filled performance. Finally, the 20-foot tall duck was lit up, as Santa stopped by to hear everyones holiday wishes.

Saturday, December 2 (4:30 p.m.) – Islip Holiday Parade
