Dive into the quacktastic world of Duck Day, an extraordinary event that has been making a splash since its creation in 2005 by the Naugatuck Chamber. The main event of the day is the Great Duck Day Race. Imagine over 20,000 rubber ducks joyously racing down the Naugatuck River, each one vying to be among the first 20 to cross the finish line and claim fabulous prizes. With the top prize of $5,000 awaiting one lucky ticket holder, the excitement is simply ducky!
But Duck Day is more than just a race; it’s a delightful festival that brings the heart of downtown Naugatuck to life! Maple and Water Streets are transformed into a vibrant wonderland where food and craft vendors tempt your taste buds, live music sets your feet tapping, and games and activities keep the kids giggling with joy. The festivities also offer a fantastic opportunity for businesses to showcase their products and services to the enthusiastic crowd of over 5,000 attendees.
Beyond the fun and frolic, Duck Day carries a heartwarming mission to support the local community. Over the previous decades, this feather-filled celebration has helped more than 375 organizations raise nearly half a million dollars through the Duck Race fundraising activities.
Don’t miss your chance to join the flock of enthusiastic participants! Please note that Chamber employees are not eligible to participate in the draw. The more entries we receive, the quackier the race becomes, increasing your chances of being a winner! All participants must be over 16 years of age to enter this exciting event. So, grab your tickets and join us for a day of quacktastic fun and meaningful contributions to our community!
