1,500+ Ducks • Family Fun • Great Prizes • Supporting Local Scholarships

30th Annual Rubber Duck Regatta

Get ready for one of the Western White Mountains’ most beloved Labor Day traditions! The 30th Annual Rubber Duck Regatta returns to Cascade Park in North Woodstock this Labor Day, where nearly 1,500 bright yellow rubber ducks will take on the twists, turns, rocks, and rapids of the Pemigewasset River in a race for glory.

Whether your duck finishes first, last, or earns one of our special awards, there’s plenty of opportunities to win—and you do not need to be present to claim your prize!

A Family Tradition

The Rubber Duck Regatta is more than just a race—it’s a community celebration! Bring the whole family and enjoy a fun-filled event featuring:

  • Family-friendly games and activities
  • Face painting
  • Crafts
  • Entertainment
  • Plenty of opportunities to cheer on your lucky duck

As always, spectators are encouraged to line the riverbanks—and kids are welcome to help our determined little racers if they happen to get wedged between a rock and a hard place along the course.

Supporting Local Students

Every duck adopted helps make a difference. Proceeds from the Rubber Ducky Regatta benefit the Western White Mountains Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund, providing financial assistance to graduating seniors from Lin-Wood High School as they pursue higher education.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, this event has helped support local students for years—and every duck adopted continues that tradition.

For 30 years, the Rubber Duck Regatta has brought families, friends, businesses, and visitors together to celebrate Labor Day in the heart of the White Mountains. Whether you’re cheering from the riverbank, adopting ducks with family, or simply enjoying the festivities, there’s something for everyone.

Thank you for supporting this cherished community tradition. We can’t wait to celebrate our 30th Annual Rubber Ducky Regatta with you this Labor Day at Cascade Park!
