Schedule of events for Rockwall Rubber Duck Regatta

Waddle you be doing this weekend?

(ROCKWALL, TX — September 9, 2018) Time to get your ducks in a row for one of Dallas/Fort Worth’s favorite family festivals – The Southwest Kia Rockwall Rubber Duck Regatta. Thousands of festival-goers from across the Metroplex will flock to The Harbor Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15, for two days of family-friendly entertainment on the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. Here’s what’s happening:

This year’s Regatta partners with Day for Kids, which celebrates the life-changing work taking place at Boys & Girls Clubs each day.

“It’s going to be bigger and better than ever before,” said Jenny Krueger, Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Texas. “This means that we get to do even more great things for our youth at the Rockwall Boys & Girls Club, providing them with the tools they need to achieve great futures.”


Lake Pointe Sports sponsors the Friday Night Kickoff, which includes a performance by the Mavs Maniaacs and an appearance by Rowdy, the Dallas Cowboys Mascot – both provided by the Rockwall County Sheriff’s Association; and appearances by Rockwall ISD athletes.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Rockwall Sports Medicine will present a screening of the classic film The Little Giants. Friday evening will culminate with a MiniGlo Duck Race at the fountain.

Back by popular demand is the Baylor Scott & White Lake Pointe Shake Your Tail Feathers 5K & Fun Run, beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday.

Daytime activities include water safety demonstrations and patrol boat rides by the Game Warden, remote control sailing demonstrations, sailboat tours by Rush Creek Yacht Club, and a VID (Very Important Duckies) Sail on Lake Ray Hubbard for all of the event’s VID sponsors!

The Duck Race, the cornerstone tradition of the event, will take place at the fountain, with the 1st place prize of the Day Race being a trip to Disney World!

The 2018 regatta will also feature a new and improved Kid Zone with video game trucks, an inflatable obstacle course, petting zoo, and rock climbing. Festival-goers will enjoy a new Carnival Zone featuring fun and FREE activities for all ages; the Market,  featuring a boutique shopping experience, the Duck Truck Yard, featuring delectable grub from food trucks; the Rockwall Art League Duck Beauty Pageant, and the Smith & Lee Lazy Lagoon Lounge – a nice place to cool off from the hot sun!
