Location: Langley, WA

Since 1972, First Street in Downtown Langley has been home to some of the speediest and wackiest “soup box” racers one day every fall.

This year, the Soup Box Derby will be held Saturday, September 12th, with a back-up rain date of Sunday September 13th.

Anyone can build a racer that can make it down a hill. But the Soup Box Derby is all about ingenuity, creativity, and a little bit of that Langley weirdness. Come check out the wacky designs and costumes that participants will wear in the wildest race on the island. And if you’re up for it, enter the race along with your friends.

Rules and applications are available from Langley Main Street Association. For more information visit: langleymainstreet.org/
