Duck Derby - Downtown Evergreen

Make your way to beautiful downtown Evergreen, August 5th, to witness one of the community’s favorite events: The Dam Duck Derby. During the Downtown Evergreen Ducky Derby, thousands of bright yellow, rubber ducks cascade down Bear Creek from the starting line at the dam spillway to the finish line at Highland Haven Creekside Inn. From high atop an 85 ft ladder fire engine, numbered ducks are dropped into the creek to start their downstream adventure. Eager fans gather along the bank hoping their lucky duck wins. And, no wonder. Cash prizes are on the line for the top three finisher. Even if your ducky takes the slow route, have no fear, it is still eligible for many giveaways from our local businesses. Winners do not have to be present to win! Before and after the duck drop, downtown will be filled with family-friendly events.
