ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

It’s A FLOATING QUACK-A-PALOOZA at Scott’s Dock! Weighted, numbered rubber ducks are dumped into the bay into a closed course and with a little help from the current, ducks are funneled towards the finish line. Ducks are removed with fishing nets by staff kayakers. Participants have NO interaction with the rubber ducks they can watch from the promenade area. Visa gift cards are awarded to the top three finishers. 

Raffle Tickets can be purchased at all MBA Events – $5 per raffle ticket
Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Ducks crossing the finish line.

Activities will begin at 11 am along the Washington Avenue Pier and walkway with the derby beginning at approximately 11:30 am. Guests can watch the ducks race to the finish line from the Washington Avenue Pier. Children can also try their luck at the Duck Chuck, Quack in the Hole, Fishin’ for Fowl and other great activities for some fun prizes.
