The Ultimate Duck Derby
Thousands of rubber ducks. One bridge. A splashing good time for a great cause.
Learn about the raceWhat's the Ultimate Duck Derby?
Every year, the community gathers on the bridge over the Adams Cut to send a flock of numbered rubber ducks into the water. The tide does the rest, carrying them down the canal toward the finish line. Adopt a duck, cheer it on, and if yours crosses first you could win a prize — all while supporting local causes through the Rotary Club of Key Largo.
How it works

Each numbered rubber duck is your ticket in the race.
The big drop
Ducks are released from the bridge into the Adams Cut.
Race to the finish
The current carries them down the canal — first ducks across win prizes.
Presented by Rotary
The Ultimate Duck Derby is organized by the volunteers of the Rotary Club of Key Largo. Every duck adopted helps fund scholarships, community projects and service across the Upper Keys.
