Rockwall, Texas – As the City of Rockwall is getting ready for the much-awaited Rubber Duck Regatta and Jeep Festival, the waters of Rockwall Harbor will become a busy festival ground. Set for Saturday, October 12th, this family-friendly event offers an exciting blend of fun, charity, and four-wheel displays.
A quacking contest for a cause
Thousands of bright yellow rubber ducks will be racing down the fountains of the harbor during the Big Duck Race, the festival’s foundation. Adopted by festival attendees and nearby supporters, every duck has an opportunity to win a range of prizes; the big prize is a shining new Jeep Wrangler. Available for adoption at $10 each or in reduced Quack Packs, the ducks are not only your ticket to potentially drive away in luxury Jeep Wrangler but also a direct gift to a worthy cause.
Jeep enthusiasts, start your engines
Not to be outdone by their rubber counterparts, Jeep enthusiasts will have their time in the limelight during the Jeep Show & Shine event. In what looks to be a show-stopping component of the festival, this event encourages Jeep owners to exhibit their vehicles in five categories, vying for awards and prizes. For those who enjoy cars, this is a must-see event since the strong Jeep community is renowned for their friendliness and excitement.
The Rubber Duck Regatta and Jeep Festival is more than just a race
Apart from the thrill of the race and the shining jeep gloss, the festival is a hive of activity. Live music, a large kids’ zone, and a wealth of food trucks with anything from gourmet meals to consoling basics will be available on the site for attendees. A trunk or treat event gives a bit of seasonal energy to the day for those seeking some Halloween fun.
Supporting the pillars of the community
Two pillar organizations in Northeast Texas—the Boys & Girls Clubs and Grace Clinic—will gain from every dollar earned from the day’s events. These groups respectively empower young people and offer essential healthcare services, therefore contributing significantly to the community. While Grace Clinic guarantees that healthcare stays available to the underprivileged and uninsured inhabitants in the region, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas provide a safe environment for children and teenagers, thus promoting academic success and character development.
A day of fun, a lifetime of impact
Festival attendees are helping their community’s health and happiness as they support the quirky rubber duck race or marvel at the beautifully maintained Jeeps. Apart from providing an unmatched day of entertainment, the Rubber Duck Regatta and Jeep Festival is evidence of the strength of community involvement and the results of group effort.
