Join us for Richmond’s one-and-only duck race and largest sensory-friendly festival! We’re taking over Brown’s Island to enjoy games and activities with 50 community partners hosting fun, engaging activities for the whole family. Then, it’s off to the races — 19,000+ rubber ducks drop and race down the canal. The top 10 finishers win big, with the fastest duck scoring the ultimate jackpot: the $10,000 grand prize!
