Reedy River Duck Derby at Falls Park in downtown Greenville

Reedy River Duck Derby at Falls Park in downtown Greenville. This 19th annual rubber duck race over the “falls” and down the Reedy River is a real “hoot” or “quack”. Live music, food trucks, face painting and 17, 000 sponsored/adopted rubber ducks compete in a race to the finish line for prizes. Promptly, at 2:30, the bugle blew the start of the race when each of 17,000 rubber ducks were dumped/ launched into the Reedy River, above the waterfalls, for a daunting race/ fall to the finish. A derby like race caller informs the spectators of minute by minute race nuances where, so to speak, the rubber meets the river! No ducks were harmed in this spectacle!
