2022 Duck Race

The Estes Park Rotary Duck Race Festival is held annually on the first Saturday in May. The Annual Duck Race continues a tradition started in 1989, which has returned more than $2.4 million (and counting) to local charities and groups. Yes, we actually race little yellow ducks down the river. It's for charity, of course but it's also really fun! The whole Estes Park community gets quacky on the first Saturday of May for a fun-filled day! Each charity receives $19 of the money collected from each adoption. This is a truly impressive return ratio that reflects the Rotary Club's efforts to minimize the Duck Race costs and return the maximum amount of money to the charities.
