Two young racers preparing for a race

. The main part of soapbox derbies is designing, building, and racing your own cars. Whether you're a solo builder, a parent-child team, or a group of friends, the Mahone Bay Soapbox Derby is for you! See event rules in the Rules section for design guidelines.

Building a Car?

. We may have a limited number of spare soapbox cars available for use. These can be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis to those who want to race but don't have the time or tools to build. If you do not have a car but want to race, please email us at info@saltboxbrewingcompany.ca

Don't Have a Car?

. Spectators are welcome! The Mahone Bay Soapbox Derby is not just for racers. It's a full community event! Come cheer on the drivers, hang out with friends, and enjoy a day of fun by the track.
