PERTH AMBOY – The Perth Amboy First Annual Duck Race is an inaugural event designed to create awareness, strengthen and support of the Perth Amboy community. The Duck Race, originally scheduled for October, has been rescheduled to Sunday, December 8, as part of the Holiday Parade Celebration at City Hall.

The 1st Annual Duck Race is an exciting family event where all contributions will make a meaningful enduring impact right in your own neighborhood.

We will be selling “adoption certificates” whereby participants can adopt a duck for $10. Each duck is numbered with its own unique code, and will be raced between the piers on the Sadowski Parkway. Ultimately, the five winning ducks will receive prizes.

Adoption certificates will be sold in advance of the event (physically and online), as well as on the day of the event.

This event is being organized by the Raritan Bay Area YMCA and Temple Beth Mordecai for the benefit of the children and families in Perth Amboy.

The Harvest Festival is an annual event that is open to residents and non-residents of Perth Amboy and attracts people from the surrounding area. During this festival, the town will be offering family activities including hay rides, face and pumpkin painting which will accompany our main event: The 1st Annual Duck Race. This event is designed to create attention and awareness of the wonderful opportunities available in Perth Amboy, and is offered to support of our organizations (Beth Mordecai & YMCA) with the participation of Mayor Wilda Diaz.
