Some 50+ lucky ducks are going to go home with great prizes on July 4, when the Great Waikoloa Rubber Duckie Race takes off across Kings’ Lake. The spec-quackular benefit for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawai‘i is one of Kings’ Shops most exciting events, as a big crowd of visitors and residents come to watch thousands of the bright yellow waterfowl bobble, waddle and drift towards the finish line.

The Kings’ Shops presents a full schedule of family-friendly 4th of July activities throughout the open air mall. These include a watermelon eating contest at A-Bay’s Island Grill, a shave ice contest at the Original Big Island Shave Ice Company, music by Johnny Shot Band, and special offers. After the race at 3 p.m., more contests challenge the brave to hunt for, quack like, and waddle like a duck—all for fun prizes and bragging rights.

Ducks can be adopted online in advance (strongly encouraged) for $5 each, or in a Quack Pack of 5 duck adoption certificates and a free Duckie Tshirt. For $100, duck-adopters make the Hall of Fame, and receive 40 adoption certificates and a free Duckie Tshirt.

Go to bit.ly/43BhPds and adopt your duckie today.
