Spring hasn’t truly sprung in northern New Hampshire until a flock of more than 2,500 rubber ducks parades through Jackson Village and takes a dip in the river.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you must be in Jackson. This year’s Wildquack Duck Race and Music Festival takes over the village all day Sunday, with rubber duck races set to hit the water at about 1:45 p.m.
This year’s Wildquack Duck Race and Music Festival will run from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday off Route 16A, with the hotly contested swim/float races starting at about 1:45 p.m.
Over the past 32 years, crowds of 2,000 to 3,000 people have come to Jackson Village on festival day, said Kathleen L. Flammia, executive director of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce. Some people come early, at 8 or 9 a.m., to stake out a viewing spot, set down a blanket or walk the village.
There will be food, children’s games, music by Al Shafner and Dennis & Davey, a silent auction of merchandise, and pictures with Wildquack, the Jackson Chamber of Commerce’s mascot.
Admission is free, and there are several options when it comes to buying tickets for the duck race. Packages vary in price, participation caps and amount of possible winnings, from $6 per “Regular Duck” competitors to $20 for an Olympic duck and $100 for a Big Duck.
