Every year, on Thursday during the National Cherry Festival in downtown Traverse City, the Traverse City Optimist Club holds its annual Boardman River Duck Race. A sea of adopted rubber ducks will race down the mighty Boardman River in Traverse City raising funds for your favorite youth charities. Top finishing ducks will win great prizes and the first place duck will win the Grand Prize.
