Official Website:Fish Box Derby Location: Rogers Street, Gloucester, MA, 01930
Dozens of kids between 8 and 14 race cars they’ve built with their families in this Fish Box Derby, a Gloucester tradition that traces its roots to the 1950s. This was established by a non-profit organization - Fish Box Derby, Inc. whose purpose it is to provide the local youth with the opportunity to build and strengthen family relations.
The young people work side by side with their parents, grandparents, guardians or neighbors to build their own car and participate in the race. The cars reflect each individual style and mechanical abilities.
The cars are entered into one of two categories: 'Freestyle' or 'Modified'. Prize categories include the traditional First, Second, Third, Fourth, Best Pit Crew and Koolest Car. In the past, First Place winners have won a mountain bike from Palazola's Sporting Goods, Second Place winners have won a six month family membership to the YMCA, Third Place winners have won a wrist watch from W.E Blanchard-Jeweler and Fourth Place winners have won whale watch tickets from Seven Seas Whale Watch. Many other great prizes donated by local merchants are awarded.
Donations made to the Fish Box Derby Race help to cover all race related expenses. The balance is placed in a scholarship fund for the young participants. Each participant is eligible to apply for scholarship funds as she or he prepares to graduate from High School.
