Soap Box Derby

The Annual Soap Box Derby, held in 2008 in March, is a great family fun event. Who would have ever thought that soap box derby racing would have become a "sponsored" event, much like NASCAR and Formula 1. In La Quinta, the kids have sponsors for their cars and take the soap box car building and racing seriously. Winners have also gone on to compete in the annual national event back east. A great date for everyone and adults who have a passion for racing, anything with wheels. Held on the streets of the La Quinta Cove, on Avenida Bermudas. This annual event, free to everone, trophies, food and fun for all who attend.
