What is Kirby Derby?

The Kirby Derby is a beloved, quirky annual community festival and soapbox race held in Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded in 2002, this free, family-friendly event is famous for its wild, gravity-powered soapbox cars, creative costumes, and eccentric neighborhood parade.

Kids' Pinecar Races: A youth competition where children race miniature, custom-decorated pinewood kit cars.
The Kirby Derby Parade: An offbeat, non-motorized parade featuring participants in elaborate costumes, musicians, and highly creative homemade floats.
The Soapbox Derby: The main event where adults race hand-built, gravity-powered vehicles down a hill, navigating sharp curves and speed bumps while competing for the "Kirby Cup".

Originally started by residents of the tiny Pullen Park Terrace neighborhood, the event grew so large that it relocated to Dorothea Dix Park in 2017, where it is now produced in partnership with the City of Raleigh and Dix Park Conservancy.
