The 2026 Soapbox Derby Car Race will take place during the International Festival on Saturday September 25th. You can build a car from scratch and enter the open division, or you can order a kit from https://www.soapboxes.com/. If you participated last year, feel free to compete again with your car. If you no longer wish to compete, please consider donating your car back to the Arts and Humanities Division, 580-581-3470, so we can refurbish it for another rider!
