Get ready to make waves and change lives at one of the most exciting, feel-good events of the year! The 9th Annual Rubber Ducky Regatta is back at OWA Parks & Resort on March 21, 2026!

Up to 10,000 rubber ducks will race down the river that winds through the park—all adopted in support of RMHC of Mobile families with seriously ill or injured children. The top three ducks to cross the finish line win fantastic prizes for their adopters.

But that’s just the beginning…This full day of family fun also features: Live Family Feud-style games, A fan-favorite Jeep show, Cooking demonstrations from local chefs, Bouncy houses, face painting, and a scavenger hunt.

It all takes place in the vibrant heart of Downtown OWA, with thousands of attendees and tons of energy. Don’t forget to review sponsorship opportunities to help us provide a home-away-from-home for families whose children are receiving medical care far from home—while also shining a spotlight on your company’s community commitment.
