Get Ready for Brooklyn's 4th Annual Soap Box Derby

Get ready, get set: Brooklyn's legendary Soap Box Derby takes place on August 18. Racers zoom their non-motorized handmade contraptions down 17th St.

The children's race takes place at 12 p.m. and the grownups race at 1 p.m. Check-in at 11 a.m.

Kids ages 7-15 can sign up for a workshop in Windsor Terrace to learn how to construct functional soap box racers out of recycled material. To sign up, or to register for the race contact the Open Source Gallery. (Camp is not free but racing is.)
