SAVE THE DATE
Saturday, August 2, 2025
Rio Grande Park, Aspen

 

The Ducky Derby is the Rotary Club of Aspen’s main fundraiser—an event that brings the whole community together for a great cause. At 1 PM, thousands of rubber ducks will race down the Roaring Fork River, with exciting prizes awarded to the winners.

The day runs from 11 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, August 2 and features live music, youth group booths with games and activities, bouncy houses, food trucks, soft drinks, and a silent auction.

New this year: We’re welcoming local organizations focused on education, health and well-being, and arts and music to join us in the park. As a community service organization, we’re proud to offer these groups the chance to connect directly with the public and share the valuable work they do to strengthen our community.

Over the years, this beloved tradition has supported 65 local nonprofits focused on education, health, human services, and youth recreation. We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors for making it all possible.
