Back again this summer, the Chicago Ducky Derby is set to make a massive, albeit quirky, impact: Tomorrow, thousands of little yellow rubber ducks will be dumped into the Chicago River—100,000 to be exact—beginning at the historic Columbus Drive Bridge.

The annual rubber duck race, held in benefit of the Special Olympics Illinois, will begin at Pioneer Court on Thursday, August 7 at 10am, with the beloved Splash Down festival to kick off promptly at 1pm. Bring your camera and sense of adventure to support this worthy cause.

If you’d rather do more than be a spectator, you can make an even bigger impact by "adopting" a duck. Each yellow buddy starts at $10 and can be adopted individually or in larger packages on the day of the race in person at Pioneer Court at 401 North Michigan Avenue
