The Duck Race to End Racism will be held on Saturday, June 9, noon-4 p.m., at the Syracuse Inner Harbor

The Duck Race to End Racism is a free family festival that brings together people from all over the community. It features a huge line-up of children’s entertainment, cooperative games, face painting, community information booths and duck races galore. It is a celebration with people of many colors, many different backgrounds, and many different walks of life coming together to demonstrate what the world would look like if racism did not exist. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $5 each to participate in the general public Community Duck Race featuring many prizes and gifts.

A couple more highlights:

• There is a community duck race of bath tub-sized ducks, with a chance to earn a $1,000 shopping spree at Destiny USA!
• Returning for the third year is Terra Maker Hall, providing fun science and technology activities for children and youth, as well as a video booth and roving reporters thanks to Syracuse Stories.
