Mandurah Rotary Duck Race

The Rotary Family Fun Day and Duck Race is a free community event held on Eater Saturday on the Mandurah Eastern Foreshore.

The event brings all sectors of the community together to celebrate Easter and interact in a safe, alcohol, drug and smoke free environment. There is no entry fee, with free entertainment, displays by local businesses and market stalls involving art, craft and speciality products.

The event provides family entertainment and activities and concludes with two Duck Races held on the estuary. Each duck represents a ticket sold by local community groups and the first three ducks in each race win major prizes. Half of the income for each ticket sold is returned to the community ‘not for profit’ group.

The Family Fun Day and Duck Race was traditionally run as a joint effort between three Rotary Clubs in Mandurah. The Rotary Club of Mandurah Districts wishes to acknowledge the great contribution from the other Clubs and members in the past.

In 2024, the Family Fun Day and Duck Race is a project of the Rotary Club of Mandurah Districts

The Family Fun Day

The Family Fun Day starts at 10.00am and during the day there will be free activities for children and family that include kid’s rides, face painting, speciality food vendor stalls and exclusive local art & craft works and much much more.

The event delivers live local entertainment all day promoting local singers, bands and dancers on the main stage.

Our Mascot race promotes local business, senior schools and sports clubs who fight it out to win the highly valued useless Rotary Duck Race Trophies for this event.

Get your business, senior school and sports club involved and join the fun to win one of the completely useless Duck Race Trophies.
