Hanson Park Conservancy’s 13th Annual Rubber Ducky Derby is scheduled for Sunday, October 6, 2024, at 4:00 pm. The Race is held at Sperry Park in Cranford, NJ. The rain date is Sunday, October 13, 2024.
On race day, over one thousand individually numbered rubber ducks will tumble over the falls at Sperry Park racing to the finish line at the North Union Ave Bridge. Numerous prizes for the fastest lucky duckies will be awarded. The top prize is a $250.00 TD Bank gift card.
Boy Scouts are on hand to collect every rubber ducky after the race is completed. They are then cleaned and reused for next year’s race.
Ducks can be purchased at two locations: Periwinkles, on North Union Avenue in downtown Cranford, or the Cranford Canoe Club on Springfield Ave. Purchase a single Duck for $5.00 or a flock of 5 ducks for $20.00. Please secure your tickets early as ducks are limited, and the race has been known to sell out.
We will also sell ducks the morning of the race in Sperry Park between 11 am and 2 pm. No duck sales after 2 pm as we need to prepare them for the big race.
In case of inclement weather, please check social media for updates on race conditions.
All proceeds benefit Hanson Park maintenance and educational programs. If you have not yet walked through this lovely little park, please visit this hidden gem located at 38 Springfield Ave.
