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 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.
