Tasty Toucan is turning FIVE—and you know we couldn’t let a milestone like this slip by without something totally quack-tastic! Inspired by those famous river duck races, we’re bringing the fun right here to Kent Island with our very first Rubber Duck Relay Race. Instead of floating down a stream, your feathered (er…rubbery) friend will conquer a playful obstacle course designed just for your duck!

Step One: Find Your Rubber Duckie

You’ve got options:

  • Bring your own beloved rubber duck from home (we won’t judge if it’s already battle-tested).

  • OR bring in one of the 75 ducks we’ve hidden all around Kent Island! If you spot one, snag it and bring it on race day. Not in the racing mood? No problem—re-hide your duck or gift it to someone who’s ready to compete. Ducks like adventures, after all.

  • Register your duck here. We will email you a reminder so you don’t forget. 

Step Two: Race Day Deets

Date: October 25th all day! Location: Tasty Toucan

Bring your chosen duck (don’t worry, we’ll have extras in the shop too). You and your duck will be timed as you waddle, dash, and splash through a series of “duck-stacles.”

  • Go Solo: Take on the course yourself and bask in the glory.

  • Team Up: Rally your flock, split the silliness, and claim shared bragging rights.

Bonus Points Alert: Dress the part! Show up in a duck costume—whether it’s a full-feathered masterpiece or just a yellow poncho with some enthusiastic waddling—and we’ll add extra points to your score.



But wait there’s more!

What’s a race without a victory treat? After you and your duck crush the course, refuel with our limited-time Bathtub Sundae.

This over-the-top delight is served in a tiny bathtub, piled high with scoops of ice cream, drowning in decadent toppings, and topped off with your very own chocolate duck. It’s Instagram-worthy and ridiculously delicious.

🎉 Why You Can’t Miss This

This isn’t just a race—it’s:

  • A celebration of five fun-filled years of Tasty Toucan.

  • A chance to get delightfully silly with friends and neighbors.

  • An event that’s truly one-of-a-kind on Kent Island.

We can’t wait to see you—and your racing ducks—on October 25th.

✨ Let the waddling begin!

 
 
 

5th annual sidewalk chalk event

Saturday September 20 12 pm- 3pm


How it works:

  • Check in at Tasty Toucan 400 Love Point Road Stevensville to pick your square.


  • Claim your square of sidewalk in front of Tasty Toucan between 12-2:30. Voting + awards at 3:00 (3 winners by age group—you don’t need to be present to win!).


  • Chalk is provided (but bring your own magic sticks if you want extra flair).


  • No sign-up. No fees. Just show up, check in, and let your imagination run wild.



At Tasty Toucan, we’ve always believed fun, creativity, and community go hand-in-hand (preferably with an ice cream cone in the other). That’s why we keep games in the shop, a laid-back chill vibe, and sidewalk chalk out for anyone who wants to doodle, dream, or leave a sweet message. And let us tell you—the art and words our guests have left behind? Pure magic. ✨


After spotting some seriously talented masterpieces on our very own sidewalks, Nikki had an idea (she's full of them): why not invite EVERYONE to add their own splash of creativity to downtown Stevensville? After all, what better canvas than a plain, drab sidewalk just waiting to be dressed up in color?


So Every year we turn Historic Downtown Stevensville into one giant, joyful outdoor gallery. Whether you’re an artist, a doodler, a family with kids, or just someone who hasn’t touched chalk since the 3rd grade—we want YOU to come make your mark. Because Nikki (an artist herself) knows every person has their own unique flair, and this is the perfect way to share it with the community.


So… are you ready to bring the sidewalks to life? Come create, come play, come eat some ice cream. Leave your mark, spread some smiles, and be part of the colorful story our community is writing—one chalk square at a time.


Make your mark. Add your color. Share your joy.🍦✨

SAVE the date:Stuff Your Stanley

📅 Saturday, March 15📍 Tasty Toucan

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind ice cream experience—Stuff Your Stanley is here! Bring your favorite insulated tumbler (Stanley, Yeti, Hydro Flask—any large, cold-holding cup will do) and fill it up with as much ice cream as it can handle.


Why Your Tumbler is Perfect for Ice Cream

Your insulated cup isn’t just great for keeping drinks cold—it’s also the ultimate way to enjoy ice cream:

🥶 Keeps it frozen longer – Double-wall insulation prevents melting, so you can enjoy every bite at the perfect temperature.

🖐️ No frozen fingers – Unlike regular cups, your tumbler keeps the cold inside, so your hands stay warm and comfortable.🍨 Save some for later – Can’t finish it all at once? Just pop the lid back on and stash it in the freezer for a treat anytime.


How It Works

✔️ Bring a clean, empty insulated tumbler.

✔️ We’ll fill it to the brim with Tasty Toucan’s handcrafted small batch ice cream flavors.

✔️ Enjoy immediately or take it home—your tumbler will keep it frozen!


Why You Do we do This?

🍦 Try new flavor combos – Mix and match to create your perfect ice cream blend.

📸 A social-worthy scoop – A fully packed Stanley makes for a picture-perfect moment.

🎉 A FUN way to celebrate ice cream season! and our spring training for scooping.

💖 Make memories that stick – This isn’t just about ice cream—it’s about sharing a fun, unique experience with friends and family. Whether it's your first time or you’re a seasoned Stanley stuffer, it’s a tradition in the making!


So grab your tumbler and join us for a day filled with fun, flavor, and the ultimate ice cream challenge. See you March 15!
