Float Your Wish

Float Your Wish on the 4th of July

rubber duckies with wishes

Only in Yardley can you experience this kind of 250th birthday celebration.

Saturday, July 4 • 1 to 3 p.m.
Old Library by Lake Afton
46 West Afton Avenue, Yardley

The Yardley Historical Assocition has 105 rubber duckies ready to float out on Lake Afton bearing your wishes for the future. They can be wishes for Yardley, America, the Earth, the Universe or you.

You can write your wishes right on your duck (markers will be on hand) or write a longer message on paper and tie it around your duck’s neck (we’ll have those supplies, too.)

When your duck is ready, you can place it in the Lake.  Your wish afloat.

A canoeist will be on the water in case some herding is needed and will, of course, gather the ducks at the end of the event. Polluting Lake Afton with plastic ducks is not our wish.

If you would like to wait for the Float to end, you may take your duck home with you.

Come to this FREE, only-in-Yardley event before you head to all the fireworks. Let’s herald 250 years of history together in the heart of Yardley.
