Duck Race

Shack Quack Family Festival
with Rubber Duck Race on the Mon

Disclaimer: Real ducks are not harmed during this race. We use squeaky rubber ducks!

What is the Shack Quack Family Festival?

The Shack Quack Family Festival is a completely FREE event for any family that wants to come enjoy a fun filled day of riding ponies, jumping in bounce houses, laying in sand with a mermaid and eventually watching the very exciting (rubber) duck race. The event is for children and families of all ages and it takes place at the Star City waterfront tugboat depot. Who wouldn't want to go to a completely free family festival!

The festival also features a Rubber Duck Race on The Mon event which is our annual fundraiser. The ducks get dropped off the Star City Bridge down into the Monongahela River and the ducks race to the finish line! In 2018, we dropped close to 2,000 rubber ducks! The duck that finishes first gets a prize of $1,500! Who doesn't want to sit along the river during a beautifully sunny late summer day while watching over 2,000 rubber ducks float down the river?
