Duck Day returns on Sunday, June 7th from 11–4PM, and we’re going full bill.
Over 15,000 ducks.
One epic race.
A whole community showing up loud.
This is the day Naugatuck gets its quack on.
Mark your calenduck for the 21st Annual Naugatuck Duck Race on Sunday, June 7th at 2PM sharp!
Over 15,000 ducks will take the plunge into the Naugatuck River, racing for glory and some seriously quacktastic prizes.
If your duck is among the fastest down the river, you could waddle away with one of this year’s 20 great prizes.
Every entry supports our local community, so when you join the race, everyone wins.
Where the Big Ducks Make Waves
The big ducks hit the water at 12PM sharp!
Watch as our larger-than-life corporate ducks take their turn in the spotlight, racing down the river while kids cheer them on from the sidelines.
It’s fast. It’s competitive. It’s bragging rights for the boldest flocks in town.
Shake your tail feather to live music performances throughout the day!
Choose a cause. Enter your ducks. Make waves in the community.
Duck Day isn’t just a race, it’s a chance for local non-profits to rally supporters and raise funds in a high-energy, community-driven event.
Participation is free and open to all non-profits.
Promote your mission.
Sell ducks to your supporters.
Keep the momentum going long after the splash.
It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it makes a real splash for your cause.
