Ducky Dash Announced for Saturday, August 24, in Downtown Middlesboro

Live music on Fountain Square during Ducky Dash 2012

Downtown Middlesboro is pleased to host the award-winning Ducky Dash event once again this year. The date and time we've selected for the event is Saturday, August 24, 2013, from 4-7pm. We'll once again hold the main festivities in Fountain Square, at the corner of 20th Street and Cumberland Ave in downtown Middlesboro.

The highlight of the event each year is the famous duck race in our historic canal. Rubber duckies will be available for purchase in advance of the event at stores throughout the downtown. More ducks will be available to purchase at the event itself. All proceeds from the Ducky Dash go to benefit ongoing downtown revitalization efforts.

The streets of Cumberland Ave line up with food, vendors, and exciting events.

You'll want to be there from the moment ducks hit the water until they cross the finish line.

In addition to the race, plans are coming along for live music, food, and vendors. More information about those will be shared as it becomes available. Sponsorship opportunities for the event are available. Anyone who would like to become a sponsor, be a vendor, or help with organizing family friendly events during the event is welcome to fill out this registration form.

If you have any questions about the event or want to find out more about how to get involved, please contact Discover Downtown Middlesboro, Inc. at (606) 248-6155, via Facebook, or Twitter @DDMBoro. Thank you for your participation and interest in advance. With your help this will be the best ever Ducky Dash!
