Peabody Hotel Ducks March

Since 1933 The Peabody Memphis has maintained a daily tradition in which trained mallard ducks are escorted from a rooftop residence to the hotel lobby fountain each morning and returned each evening by a designated 'Duckmaster.' The March of the Peabody Ducks is a documented, long-running ceremonial routine that draws visitors and media attention. The ducks live on the hotel rooftop and the routine is part of the hotel's public programming and tours.
