Bellaire Rubber Ducky Festival

About 2,000 rubber ducks race a quarter mile down the Intermediate River in Bellaire, from North Bridge to Riverside Marina, and the winner's owner takes home $500. The race follows the Grand Parade down Broad Street, and the festival has been running since the late 1980s (2026 was the 39th). It now has a glow-in-the-dark "Duck & Glow" 5K too.
