2025 Reedy River Duck Derby

The 21st Annual Reedy River Duck Derby is Back!
The Rotary Club of the Reedy River Greenville is gearing up for its 21st annual Reedy River Duck Derby to be held May 3, 2025, in Falls Park. With a goal of 14,000 ducks to race down the falls, community members can expect an exciting, fun-filled, and free day at the park.
The Derby will have live music, face painting, balloon twisting, yard games, and food trucks. At 2:30 p.m. sharp, our bugler calls the race and we watch all 14,000 ducks race down the falls. For those that adopt ducks, there’s a chance to win a $1 million dollars, a first-place prize of a year of groceries from Publix, a second-place prize of $2,500 cash from the Rotary Club of the Reedy River Greenville, and many more prizes.
Not just a fun day in the park, the Reedy River Duck Derby is the largest local Rotary fundraiser providing proceeds to local nonprofits through grants. The nonprofits supported by the 2025 race will not be selected until after the Derby. Still, last year’s nonprofits supported included: The Children’s Museum of the Upstate, Augustine Literacy Project of the Upstate, Girls on the Run, Habitat for Humanity, Mauldin Miracle League, TreesUpstate, STRIDES Tutoring, United Ministries, and others.
Duck adoptions are currently $10 for a single duck, and a Super Quack Pack of 5 ducks for $30. On April 15th, the Super Quack Pack option will disappear and be replaced with the Quack Pack (4 ducks for $30) and include an option for a Raft (10 ducks for $70).
