After discussions with the International Soap Box Derby team, we’ve mutually agreed to cancel the Bicentennial Soap Box Derby due to logistical and scheduling conflicts.
This cancellation is in relation only to the upcoming Bicentennial event, not the other events that the Soap Box Derby hosts on a yearly basis. The Derby’s Annual Senior Day event is September 25, 2025. We encourage the community to take part.
We look forward to working with the Soap Box Derby team on a potential future event, which will allow us to showcase the Derby’s rich history in the Akron Community! Details will be announced in the coming weeks.
We also look forward to the 88th FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby in July 2026!
