The 2026 Cassadaga Lakes Association's 28th Annual Ducky Derby is the biggest fundraiser of the year and will be a highlight of the Village's Labor Day Festival!

The annual CLA Ducky Derby is a fun family-oriented event that proves to be a great time for people of all ages to come out, line the shore and root for their ducks as they race under the bridge to be first to cross the finish line.

Tickets are sold at local events and businesses, the CLA Website & along the parade route! Buy EARLY, buy OFTEN for a chance to win great prizes! There are 650 little plastic racing duckies that will be released into the water under the bridge on Maple Avenue. As always, there will be some fabulous prizes for the finishers!

Ducky Derby prizes are donated by CLA members, local businesses and CLA friends. If you would like to donate a prize, contact Bob Reuther, Ducky Derby Committee member.

The Ducky Derby is scheduled for right after the Labor Day Parade at noon. It will be held at the outlet on Maple Avenue & Mill Street. Stay tuned to the CLA website and facebook page for event updates. Buying tickets supports the CLA in their endeavors.
