The 23rd Annual Pawcatuck River Duck Race will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2023, in downtown Westerly, R.I. – Pawcatuck, CT. In spectacular fashion 20,000 rubber ducks will be released en masse off the Westerly-Pawcatuck Bridge for an amazing race down the Pawcatuck River.

The festivities will begin in Donahue Park at 11:30 AM. The Corporate Duck Race will be at 1:00 PM, and the Main Race at 1:30 PM. Entertainment will include duck games, a bounce house, great food, and much more!
The Grand Prize is a trip for a family of four (2 adults/2 children) to Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida, including airfare, hotel, and park passes or $2500 cash. Over 90 additional prizes will be awarded to the winning ducks, which include tickets to local attractions, hotel stays, and gift certificates to local restaurants and merchants.
