Make your way to beautiful downtown Evergreen, on 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 finishers (1st prize - $1,500, 2nd - $1,000, 3rd - $500). 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 Colorado-themed family-friendly events. Come check out the arcade bus at Cactus Jacks, or try your hand fossil-finding in the main parking lot. Our local vendors will also show off their Colorado knowledge through their own activities.
So jump online to buy your ducks at https://downtownevergreen.com/events/dam-ducky-derby and make your way to downtown Evergreen August 5th from 11 to 4 to check out our activities and watch your duckies race down beautiful Bear Creek!
And...Macaroni Kid will have a very fun activity for kids that day. Come see us at our booth where kiddos can "mine" for duckies in a super "cool" ice block!
