Ten thousand rubber duckies will race across the lake at Kings’ Shops on Saturday as the 34th annual Great Waikoloa Rubber Duckie Race returns in support of the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawaii.

The community fundraiser brings together a July Fourth celebration, live entertainment, keiki activities and one of Waikoloa’s most visual traditions to support programs for children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities with similar service needs.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with scheduled activities beginning at 11 a.m. and the rubber duckie race starting at 3 p.m. at Kings’ Shops.

“Each year, this event gives the community a fun, visible way to support programs for people with disabilities and their families across Hawaii,” John Nishida, executive director of UCPA, said in a press release. “The duckie race has become a Waikoloa tradition because it brings people together for a celebration with a purpose.”

More than $25,000 in prizes will be awarded, including a grand prize trip for two to Japan. Additional prizes include resort stays, golf packages, boat cruises, dolphin experiences, gift baskets, shopping and dining certificates, and more.

The first 50 duckies to finish the race, along with the last-place duckie, will win prizes for the people who adopted them.

This year’s Super Quackers theme will bring costumed superheroes throughout the center for photo opportunities and family-friendly fun.

Event highlights include a watermelon eating contest, live music, a shave ice eating contest, the Fitness Forever Challenge, a preview of Aloha Theatre’s “Seussical,” and the duck-waddling and duck-calling contests.

Guests will also find a scavenger hunt, free keiki activities, local artisan and food vendors, merchant offers, and more.

Duck adoptions are $5 each. Special adoption packages include the $30 Quack Pack, which includes five ducks in the race and a free T-shirt, and the $100 VIP package, which includes 40 ducks in the race and a free T-shirt. T-shirts for Quack Pack and VIP package adoptions will be held for pickup on race day.

Duckies may be adopted online in advance. In-person adoptions will be available at Kings’ Shops on Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. until sold out.
