Held June 15th (11 a.m. – 3 p.m.) at Mohawk Harbor in Schenectady, more than 5,000 ducks will race to the finish line! Organizations devoted to providing services to the autism community will be present along with tons of family-friendly activities.
The Autism Society of of the Greater Capital Region is thrilled to be partnering with the Adirondack Aquatic Center this year to host the Duck Derby and a Guinness World Record Attempt.

Adirondack Aquatic Center will be the premier facility of its kind in the Northeast, with 80,000 square-feet and four pools with round-the-clock programmable space.
