The Great Drake Park Duck Race

It all started back in 1990 as a fun and quirky community event held in Drake Park. Since then, the Great Rotary Duck Race has grown to become a fixture in the community’s early fall event schedule and includes all 4 Bend area Rotary clubs, local credit unions (and selected charities) selling $5 raffle tickets to raise funds for local nonprofits. Since 1989, the race has generated over one million dollars for Central Oregon charities, all supporting children and families in need.COVID caused us to have to make the race virtual for the past couple of years, but for 2022, we’re excited to announce that the ducks will be back in the river!
