The culmination of the celebration is the much awaited Duck Fest which is participated in by all of the 9 barangays constituting the town.
 
The event will not be complete without the colorful and boisterous Street Dancing and Float Parade participated in by the local officials, students and members of different civic organizations of the town. The parade starts at Barangay Masapang where a giant duck monument is located going towards the town center. A search for Miss Victoria is also held and to make the occasion even more shining, a fireworks display to culminate it.
