Since 1972, First Street in Downtown Langley has been home to some of the speediest and wackiest “soup box” racers one day in late August. 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. Don’t miss this annual beloved Whidbey event. Rules and applications are available from Langley Main Street Association. Soup Box Derby 2024 will be in September, check back for exact date.
