Leesville Derby Daze

Derby Daze is rolling back into Historic Downtown Leesville on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and this year we’re bringing a brand-new race to Third Street!

Introducing the Derby Daze Pinewood Derby! Build it. Paint it. Make it your own. Then bring it downtown and see how your car stacks up against the competition! Whether you’re a first-time builder or already know your way around a Pinewood Derby track, we’re excited to add this fun new event to Derby Daze. Pinewood Derby Racer Fee: $5 / FREE ADMISSION

Derby Daze will also feature the Soapbox Derby, Classic Car Show, food trucks, live music, pageant queens, and plenty of family fun!
