Quack Attack! Rotary Duck Race is Back – November 2
It’s time to fluff up your feathers and mark your calendars – the Rotary Queenstown Annual Duck Race is back!
On Sunday, 2 November 2025 at 2.45pm, The Village Green will transform into a sea of colour, laughter, and cheering as hundreds of ducks take to the water in Queenstown’s quirkiest and most entertaining race of the year.
This isn’t just a race – it’s a celebration! Think cheeky costumes, community spirit, prizes galore, and ducks racing for a cause. And the best part? Every dollar raised will directly support the Whakatipu Youth Trust and the Southern Lakes Sanctuary Trust/Whakatipu Wildlife Trust – two incredible organisations doing vital work for our youth and environment.
Be Part of the Action – Sponsor a Duck!
Corporate Duck Sponsorships are now open:
- Standard Corporate Duck – $280
- Limited Edition Super Duck – $450 (only FIVE available – these sell out quickly!)
Dress your duck to impress – sunglasses, bow ties, tutus, you name it! The crowd loves creativity, and this year we’ll be awarding:
- Fastest Duck – overall race champion
- Runner Up
- Third Place
- Best Dressed Duck – the ultimate style crown
Prize Donations Welcome
Got a prize worth $300 or more? Donate it to the Duck Race and enjoy the exposure of being featured on the day. It’s a great way for your business to highlight their support while backing a great cause.
After-Party
Once the ducks cross the finish line, we’ll head off for a lively after-party (venue to be confirmed) – a chance to toast the winners, celebrate the community, and share a laugh or two.

The ducks are lining up, the water’s waiting, and we can’t wait to see who takes home the trophies (and the glory!). Let’s make the 2025 Rotary Queenstown Duck Race the splashiest, funniest, and most successful yet.
Thank you for your support – together we’re making a difference in our community, one duck at a time.
