The Great Rubber Duck Race will take place on Sunday, July 2 – 5,000 rubber ducks will be dropped from the South Side Bridge at 12 noon, as part of the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta at the levee in downtown Charleston, WV. The first ten duck winners will receive prizes and the last place duck winner will receive a flock of 25 ducks in next year’s Great Rubber Duck Race.
