The 20th Annual Duck Fest Derby, presented by JM Family Enterprises, is one of South Florida’s most anticipated charity events! On Saturday, April 18, 2026, families will flock to Esplanade Park for a High School Homecoming-themed celebration—complete with “quacky” fun in the Fun Zone, live entertainment, delicious food trucks, face painting, KID Olympics, and more. Admission is free, and smiles are guaranteed!
Then, 45,000 rubber ducks will make a splash in the New River, racing for amazing prizes—all to support Kids In Distress (KID) and Family Central (FCI), serving more than 20,000 children and families each year across South Florida.
