A holiday tradition returned to Long Island Wednesday after being canceled in 2020.
People came out to Flanders to see the 33rd annual lighting of the iconic Big Duck.
"This is what you wait for all year," says Johnny Sideratos. "Starts off the season."
The Big Duck celebrates his 90th birthday this year.
The event also featured some carols about the duck and an appearance from Santa Claus.
