The Great Noblesville Duck Race is one of the most beloved community traditions in downtown Noblesville and a signature fundraising event supporting Noblesville Main Street. Each year, hundreds of bright yellow rubber ducks are “adopted” by participants and released into the White River for a lively race to the finish line. Every duck represents a chance to win prizes while also supporting programs that strengthen downtown Noblesville.

The event brings together families, local businesses, and visitors for a fun, high-energy day filled with entertainment, community spirit, and friendly competition. Proceeds from duck adoptions help fund Noblesville Main Street initiatives including downtown beautification, local events, small business support, and programs that enhance the vitality of the historic square.

Whether you adopt a single duck or a whole flock, the Duck Race is a playful way to support downtown Noblesville while enjoying one of the community’s most unique and memorable events.
