First Charity Duck Race Takes Place In Budapest
A paddling of yellow rubber ducks floated down the Danube in Budapest on Sunday for Hungary’s first charity duck race.

The race was held to benefit the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The Hungarian Kayak and Canoe Association organised a boating show before the race, with pop acts performing after the ducks finished the contest.

Charity duck races have been organised around the world since the ‘90s but one has never taken place in Hungary until now.
