"And they're off! The duck in the lead catches a wave, as a contender comes up on the inside..."

August 29 will be a day of fun, with bands, good food and a Red Cross Rubber Duck Regatta! Simply purchase your rubber duck, race him down the river and be eligible to win a host of prizes, including autographed sports equipment, entertainment passes, event tickets, memberships and food and liquor packages!

While you are watching your duck win the Red Cross Rubber Duck Regatta, make sure to join us at the Milwaukee Ale House for great drinks and music by great groups like The Whiskeybelles, Blonde on Blonde, The Blackberries, DJ Syquest and Kid Cut Up!
