Tompkins 4-H Duck Race 2026

Tompkins 4-H proud to announce that the annual Duck Race will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 11am-4pm.

Join us to watch up to 3,000 bright yellow rubber ducks tumble over the Cascadilla Creek falls at the Cornell Botanic Gardens' Cascadilla Gorge Trail then bob down the creek in a frantic and fabulous race to the 4-H Education Center on Willow Avenue. Take a chance on a duck and win GREAT PRIZES if your duck is among the first to cross the finish line!

All proceeds support 4-H youth programs in Tompkins County. Need not be present to win!

This year, our Duck Race event will be BIGGER and BETTER than ever!
