What is this year’s event date?

Our Rubber Duckie Race & Festival will be held on Sunday, September 10 at Lancaster County Central Park. The festival kicks off at 2 pm and our ceremonial duck race will begin at 5 pm (river conditions permitting).

Is this a rain or shine event?

Yes, and new this year, we’ll have an extra-large tent that will cover most of the games and activities so fun can be had despite the raindrops.

What activities will take place at the Festival?

Free to attend, our festival will feature a craft tent, DJ and food truck alley. A midway with carnival games is available with the purchase of game tickets. And of course, our ceremonial duck race will take place at 5 pm.

What is this year’s theme?

We’re having a Duckie Reunion! We’re bringing back ducks of yesteryear for one last go-around.

When do Duckie sales launch?

Our Duckie sales season kicked off on Sunday, June 25 in partnership with the Lancaster Barnstormers. We celebrated Cylo’s birthday, handed out copies of our new Duckie storybook and launched our duckie sales.

Does the Duckie Race determine prize winners?

In year’s past, yes. However, with unpredictable water levels, obstructions in the river and duckie’s sneaking past the net and river volunteers, we believe the most fair way to offer prizes is with a raffle drawing.

Don’t worry, we’ll still host a commemorative duckie race at 5 pm on Sunday, September 10 at Lancaster County Central Park.

T-shirts are only available to event-day volunteers; they are not for sale.
