Greenville, United States - May 03, 2025 The 21st Annual Reedy River Duck Derby made a big splash on May 3, 2025, as 14,000 rubber ducks raced downriver through Falls Park. Hosted by the Rotary Club of the Reedy River Greenville, the event drew large crowds and raised approximately $95,000 for local charities. Around 120 volunteers helped make the day a success. This year’s Derby marked another sellout, continuing a five-year streak of duck adoptions selling out before race day. The club, with fewer than 25 members, has turned the Derby into the largest per capita Rotary fundraising event in the Upstate’s 49-club district. “The Duck Derby continues to be an annual event that brings our community together and enables the Reedy River Greenville Rotary club to provide local nonprofits with funding to serve the community,” said Eric Krichbaum, Head Duck of the Derby. Funds will be distributed through a grant system, which will be finalized in June after all expenses are settled. Spectators also enjoyed live music, games, food trucks, and entertainment as they cheered on the floating racers.
