Augusta Duck Dash

Join us for a FREE Fall Festival and watch as we release thousands of rubber ducks into the Augusta Canal to watch them race for incredible prizes! The Augusta Duck Dash, presented by Duckworth Development, is a seriously fun event with a seriously important goal: ensure children have a safe place to sleep at night. Our FREE FAMILY FALL FESTIVAL will feature bounce houses, food trucks, games, costume contest, trunk or treat, jeep contest and more!
Proceeds from the event and duck sales benefit the YMCA’s A Place to Dream program. Since 2017, the Family YMCA of Greater Augusta has provided 2,050+ beds to children in need. In partnership with News 12 NBC 26 and Wellstar MCG Health, the Family Y also provides pack-n-plays to families in need with infants.

Below, you can purchase ducks for the Augusta Duck Dash, plus sign-up for the Jeep Contest or Trunk or Treat!
