Dewey 4th of July Celebration (read more) & Duck Derby

Due to commercial fireworks being unavailable to our supplier by July 4, there will not be our usual fireworks display this July 4.  We will still have the activities in Don Tyler Park on the 4th: live music, free watermelon, food by BobbyQ, popcorn, and the Dewey Duck Derby.

Celebrate our nation's Independence Day this July 4 at Don Tyler Park.  There will be live music, free watermelon, food by BobbyQ, popcorn, and The Dewey Duck Derby!

Bring your lawn chairs and plan to spend the evening enjoying the music, food and fun.  Music by Let It Ride starts at 6pm, and The Dewey Duck Derby is at 8:45pm.

What is The Dewey Duck Derby?  In brief, it is a Fantastic Flotilla of Fake Fowl.  It's a rubber duck race down the "Delaware River" that runs through Don Tyler Park.  Numbered ducks are sent through an obstacle course down the "Delaware River" trying to get to the finish line first.  The first 4 ducks to cross the finish line net their lucky number owners cash prizes!  Duck numbers are sold at City Hall starting in June.  All money raised goes back into the fund for the next year's 4th of July celebration.
