The Riverfest Duck Race is a rite of summer in Monticello! In the weeks leading up to Riverfest, watch for Duck Adoption booths at businesses in Monticello! For a suggested donation of $5 or more, you can adopt an official Riverfest Duck to compete in the annual Duck Race. Traditionally, the Riverfest ducks (don’t worry - they are the little, yellow, plastic variety) are dumped off the Highway 25 Mississippi River Bridge for a quick float to Ellison Park where 30 lucky ducks win cash prizes.
Although the Mississippi River Bridge will be under construction during Riverfest 2024, and we are unsure if conditions will support a river race, we are sure there will be a ducky competition (fastest mile? longest plank? most pull ups?) and winners will be declared! So be sure to adopt your Riverfest Ducks, support our community celebration, and try your chance at winning big!
Duck Prizes
$2,500 for 1st Place
$1,000 for 2nd Place through 6th Place
$100 for 7th Place through 29th Place
$100 for Last Place
Follow the Riverfest Monticello Facebook page for Duck Adoption locations.
Winners will be posted at www.monticelloriverfest.com following the race.
