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 3:30 PM on Saturday, August 1 and features music, youth group booths with games and activities, bouncy houses, food trucks, soft drinks, and a silent auction.
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.
