Great Snake River Greenbelt Duck Race

Yearly in August
 

The Cause

In 2020, we would have been celebrating the 30th year of the Great Snake River Greenbelt Duck Race. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 event was cancelled. We look forward to bringing it back next year! 
 
Over the years, the Duck Race has become one of the largest festivals (2nd only to Independence Day) in Idaho Falls! The Idaho Falls Rotary Club has been committed to raising money to develop and enhance the River Walk and Greenbelt since 1991. The club’s annual Great Snake River Greenbelt Duck Race has generated more than $5.5 million which was donated to the city for parks and Greenbelt/River Walk improvements.. The City of Idaho Falls has received matched federal, state and local grants, as well as donations, to leverage that money.
