The Red Knights Motorcycle Club has built a legacy of camaraderie and service since its founding in 1982. What began as a simple conversation among firefighters in Boylston, Massachusetts has grown into an international organization with thousands of members across hundreds of chapters, including several active chapters throughout Connecticut.

Each ride and gathering reflects the values that define the fire service, including dedication, teamwork, and commitment to others.
From its early beginnings, the Red Knights have grown into a global network that connects firefighters through a shared passion for motorcycling. Events and gatherings provide opportunities for members to connect, share experiences, and strengthen the relationships that define the organization.
This sense of connection extends far beyond local chapters, creating a worldwide community.
The Red Knights Motorcycle Club is committed to giving back. Through events, outreach, and charitable efforts, members support their communities while promoting a positive image of motorcycling and public service.
Their mission continues to inspire firefighters to come together, support one another, and make a meaningful impact both on and off the road.

In the spirit of brotherhood and the open road, the Red Knights Motorcycle Club has carved a path of unity and service since its inception in 1982. What started as a casual conversation among firefighters at Randy’s Cycle Shop in Boylston, Massachusetts, has ignited into an international fellowship of over 9,000 members across 300 chapters, including four vibrant chapters in Connecticut. Drawing inspiration from the camaraderie of the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, the Red Knights were born from the desire to create a similar bond among those in the firefighting community.
The Red Knights Motorcycle Club is more than just a group of motorcycle enthusiasts. It is a testament to the unbreakable bond shared by firefighters. Each ride and gathering is a celebration of the bravery, dedication, and spirit of service that defines every firefighter. Through their presence, the Red Knights promote a positive image of motorcycling, demonstrating the values of camaraderie, community service, and mutual respect.
Since that pivotal meeting in Northboro Fire Headquarters, the Red Knights have grown beyond their wildest dreams, reaching firefighters worldwide. The club’s annual conventions, starting from their first in Boylston, MA, have become landmarks of fellowship, attracting members from across the globe to ride, share stories, and strengthen their bonds.
The story of the Red Knights is a beacon for firefighters everywhere, encouraging them to come together, celebrate their passion for motorcycling, and support each other both on and off the road. Each chapter, including those in Enfield, Seymour, Plantsville, and Pomfret Center, Connecticut, contributes to this legacy, fostering a community that extends far beyond local boundaries.

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.
