28th Annual (almost!) World Famous Labor Day Rubber Ducky Regatta
Monday, September 2nd!
Every Labor Day, more than 1,500 rubber ducks seek adventure as they compete in a thrilling race down the scenic Pemi River, starting from Cascade Park in North Woodstock. From first place, last place to earning the title of “best name,” winners emerge across various categories! Attendance isn’t required for winners to claim their prizes!
This family-friendly affair offers complimentary entertainment, face painting, craft activities, and games for all to enjoy while we’re waiting for the race to begin! We’ll launch 1,500 ducks into the Pemigewasset River at Cascade Park in North Woodstock, NH where they will race down the river, over rocks and down waterslides in hopes of finishing the fastest (or last!) in this annual race. Spectators and kids are welcome to get into the river and along the banks of the river to help or assist our ducks if they happen to get stuck in between a rock and hard place.
“Adopt” a single duck for $5 or five ducks for $20. Duck adoptions can be done in person at the Chamber office through Labor Day weekend, the day of the event at Cascade Park or online (here) until 6AM, Monday, September 2nd. Winners will be announced following the conclusion of the race. You don’t need to be present to win – we’ll contact all winners by phone and email on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Proceeds from the event go towards supporting the Chamber Scholarship Fund, benefiting a graduating senior from Lin-Wood High School. Anna H, the 2022 Scholarship recipient said, “Your support to this community is greatly appreciated. This scholarship will help me achieve a higher education and enable me to give back to my future community.”
This popular event is all it is quacked up to be… and one that we look forward to all summer long. It is a great way for the entire family to enjoy the unofficial end of summer in the Basecamp of the White Mountains!
Thank you for continuing to support this event and the Lin-Wood community. We look forward to seeing you on Labor Day!
