Portland Winter Lights Festival
Every winter, when Portland lights up the night, the PDX Adult Soapbox Derby rolls out something a little different. Join us at the Portland Winter Light Festival as we showcase a select lineup of our gravity-powered racers, standing still for once, but still stealing the show.

PDX Adult Soapbox Derby
The Portland Winter Light Festival (PWLF) brings art, technology, and community together during the darkest months of the year...and we’re thrilled to be part of it. Our derby cars trade downhill chaos for glowing creativity, transforming beloved racers into illuminated works of rolling art. It’s all the imagination of the Derby, minus the brakes.
