The 30th Annual Derby was a great success! Thank you all who participated!

After 30 incredible years of celebrating creativity and community with the Kingston Artists Soapbox Derby, we’re thrilled to announce our new name:

The Kingston Artists Downhill Derby  

Same spirit, same kinetic creativity, brand new momentum!

Let’s make history—again. Save the date August 16, 2026 for the first ever Kingston Artists Downhill Derby! The parade begins at the corner of Spring Street and Lower Broadway in Kingston’s Historic Downtown.  Info on volunteering, sponsorship and registration coming soon!
