On Saturday, countless rubber ducks will fall from the sky at the 32nd-annual Great Snake River Greenbelt Duck Race in Idaho Falls.

The occasion is among numerous fundraising events for the Rotary Club. Participants can adopt a rubber duck for $5. The ducks will be launched into the Snake River from a storage container, held up by a crane. The owners of the very first rubber ducks that cross throughout the goal will win rewards.

Last year’s rewards consisted of a Jeep, a 4-wheeler, 14-karat diamond earrings, initial watercolor paintings and other rewards, each worth $1,000 or more.

East Idaho News published a video in 2020 revealing the ducks falling under the river.

There will be a pre-race occasion Friday from 6-8 p.m. at Stone’s Kia. It will consist of a vintage car cruise, a poker video game, live music and totally free hamburgers.

Admission to the occasion is totally free and celebrations begin at 10 a.m. Photo credit: Great Snake River Idaho Falls Duck Race, Facebook, August 2022.

Admission to all occasions is totally free.

According to the Great Snake River Greenbelt Duck Race website, the occasion has actually raised more than $6 million over 31 years. The funds support the enhancement of the Idaho Falls River Walk, particularly Greenbelt Trail and Heritage Park.
