3,000 Purple Ducks Hit Central Florida in Centennial Ticket Giveaway

Orlando Family Stage is celebrating 100 years of theatre for young audiences with 3,000 tiny ambassadors hitting the streets: purple rubber ducks hidden in plain sight at spots across Central Florida. Each duck holds the key to a chance at free tickets to an unforgettable performance during the theatre’s Centennial Season.

From neighborhood businesses to community hubs like the Orange County Library System, local Main Street districts, and other partners, the ducks are popping up everywhere. Lucky finders can scan the tag on their duck or visit familystage.org/duck to join the fun. No purchase is necessary.

Every person who enters will be in the running for the Grand Prize: a family 4-pack of tickets to all six mainstage shows in the 2025–26 Centennial Season. Players can earn additional entries by completing simple, fun tasks like following Orlando Family Stage on social media or referring friends to play along. The more you spread the word, the more chances you have to win.
