The Ducky Derby is an event that benefits the Special Olympics of Illinois by encouraging spectators to "adopt" a yellow rubber ducky (or many duckies) to send racing down the Chicago River. It is a fun spectacle for a great cause! 

Race Day kicks off at 10 am on Wednesday, August 7, at 401 North Michigan Avenue with entertainment for the entire family. Splashdown for the Ducky Derby is at 1 pm at Wabash Avenue Bridge. A virtual event begins at noon and provides a live stream of the festivities.

All proceeds benefit more than 23,000 athletes and over 17,000 Young Athletes across Illinois.
