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, where over 10,000 rubber ducks race down the Naugatuck River, each one tied to a raffle ticket for a chance to win. The first 21 ducks to cross the finish line claim prizes, including two chances to win $5,000 for lucky ticket holders.
But Duck Day is more than just a race. It is a lively festival that brings the heart of downtown Naugatuck to life. Maple and Water Streets are transformed into a vibrant destination where food and craft vendors tempt your taste buds, live music keeps the energy going, and games and activities keep kids and families entertained throughout the day. The event also provides a great opportunity for local businesses to showcase their products and services to a crowd of over 5,000 attendees.
Beyond the excitement, Duck Day supports a meaningful mission. Over the years, this community-driven event has helped more than 375 organizations raise nearly half a million dollars through raffle ticket sales tied to the race.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of it. Please note that Chamber employees are not eligible to participate in the draw, and all participants must be 16 or older to enter. The more entries in the race, the more exciting it becomes, with more chances to win.
Get your raffle tickets today and join us for a day of fun, community, and meaningful impact.
