You can check out a gigantic rubber duck race in Minneapolis this weekend at the Minnehaha Creek Duck Race!

It’s not every day you can say you’re heading out to watch TONS of rubber ducks race downstream, but this Saturday, May 3rd from 11am to 2pm — you can!

Head to the 12th Ave. Bridge & Minnehaha Parkway at 11am for the Minnehaha Duck Race that will finish with a neighborhood festival at 17th Ave. & Minnehaha Parkway. And there’s still time to sponsor your own duck for $3, visit their website to learn more.

The 5th Annual Minnehaha Duck Race is sponsored by the Field Regina Northrop Neighborhood Group. And don’t worry- all the rubber duckies are collected and used year after year. My family and I can’t wait to check out this fun and free family event!
