Thousands of ducks will soon hit the waters at the River Walk in Flower Mound.
The 9th Annual Rhythms at the River Walk and Duck Derby will give the community an opportunity to enjoy multiple facets of entertainment Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
At 1 p.m., the highlight of the event, the rubber duck race, will kick off with the duck drop.
During the race, more than 30,000 rubber ducks will wade their way along the River Walk waterway toward the finish line.
The first duck to reach the finish line will earn its owner a $2,500 gift card. Second place will earn a $1,500 gift card and third place will take home a $1,000 gift card.
All ducks in the top 10 will take home some sort of prize.
The competing ducks are adopted by participants for a cost of $5, and participants can adopt as many ducks as they would like to increase their chances at the top prize.
According to the event’s webpage, all proceeds will benefit the Cross Timbers Rotary Club’s numerous nonprofit partner agencies.
While waiting for the big race, event visitors can also enjoy live music, vendor booth shopping, food trucks and kids activities.
The event is free to attend.
