Small country need small festivals. Few are more bizarre than the Duck Race.

Concept is simple: take 10,000 rubber ducks, sell them to people for charity, dump them to the river and see which duck comes to the finishing line first. The lucky owner of that one wins a car.

All ducks are the same. No tuning allowed.

Half of Luxembourg showed up.

Although not everyone showed similar enthusiasm.

Suspence is building up

And here they come. All 10,000 of them

Some of the ducks need some help

 

At the end, it’s all for charity. No other reason really.

 

My duck did not win.
