Kirby Derby is an annual day of awesomeness each June in Raleigh NC on Kirby Street.

 

PineCar Classic

  • The Rules 
  • For the kids, a classic pinewood derby car race

Parade

  • It's Fabulous. Fantastical. Fanatical. It's the Kirby Derby Day Parade!

  • Cocktails on the curb and strategizing for the best curb site is by 5pm

  • Parade starts at 5:30pm-ish sharp. Lineup is at 5pm sharp.

Drag Race

  • This is a speed walking event (or speed swagger) – no running
  • If you are a man in the race, you must wear heels 2″ high minimum and a skirt or dress (stay tuned – that height might increase)
  • If you are a woman, you must wear loosely laced men’s work boots at least 3 sizes too big
  • Complete list of rules

Soapbox Derby

  • The Derby is an adult event, as Dead Man's Curve and the Racers themselves can be very unpredictable.

  • Enter at your own risk.
