The 31st Annual Ducky Derby is coming summer 2027.
Date announced soon.
A morning on Plum Creek
The Race
Watch as 10K numbered rubber duckies are released into Plum Creek, racing to the finish line in a half-mile journey. Will your ducky be the lucky one to win cash prizes?
Farmers Market
The morning starts with the Downtown Castle Rock Farmers Market, with local foods, arts, and crafts from Colorado vendors, plus food trucks for every appetite.
Kid-Friendly Fun
Face painting, balloon creatures from our resident clown, carnival games, and a bounce house. The kids are guaranteed a blast.
Where the money goes
Every duck adopted at the Ducky Derby goes to work in our community. Proceeds support local nonprofits, youth programs, and service projects throughout Castle Rock and Douglas County, including:
- Help & Hope Center
- Castle Rock Police Youth Academy
- Castle Rock Senior Center
- Rocky Mountain Honor Flight
- Douglas Land Conservancy
Our sponsors make it possible
The Ducky Derby happens because local businesses, organizations, and individuals believe in this community. Thank you for helping turn a fun day on the creek into real support for our neighbors. Together, we are making a difference, one duck at a time.
