EVENT OVERVIEW
About Duck Fest
Since 2022, the RVA Duck Race & Festival of Inclusion has brought our community together to raise awareness and funds to support the ASCV's programs and services for our local autism community. In 2026, that tradition evolves into RVA Duck Fest — the region's largest sensory-friendly festival, featuring the iconic $10,000 Lucky Duck Raffle, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, community partners, and more!
