Estes Park's favorite community event is the annual Rotary Duck Race. On May 3rd, 2025 at 11am, almost 10,000 ducks are dumped into the Fall River at the new Riverside bridge across from the Estes Park Post Office and float their way to The Estes Park Visitor Center. Volunteers collect the ducks and winning ducks are awarded prizes. There will be several heats of duck races with the finalists racing again for the grand prizes. Adopt a duck and designate it for Estes Park Quota for $25 or 6 for $125. Each duck is a chance to win hundreds of prizes and helps support our organization. Adopt a duck today and check Estes Park Quota so our club gets the donation!

In 2019 Quota Club contributed towards the purchase of a new ambulance for Estes Park. This has been a tradition since our club was founded in the 1940's. Since then we have helped purchase 21 ambulances for the Estes Community. This is an important service for our community to have emergency vehicles that can maneuver winding mountain roads and inclement weather to reach those in need.
Social gatherings include Bunco, trivia night, wine and cheese tasting, bowling, arts and crafts and more!
One of our most popular events is our Festival of Trees. During the holiday season Estes Park Quota displays over 40 holiday trees decorated by local businesses, non-profits, artists and Quota members at
