Morristown Derby Days is a longstanding tradition for the Morristown community. Both residents and alumni gather during the last weekend in July to reminisce about years gone by while making new memories.
This year we will be celebrating the 71st year of Derby Days. The adults will have a business-sponsored derby race on Friday night complete with beer garden, fun food and a live DJ. Saturday will begin with a breakfast at the American Legion & the annual P.O.G. 5mile run/walk. Just before lunch there will be a parade filled with children on bikes, alumni on floats, and residents in vintage cars & tractors riding through the heart of Morristown. The Scouts will race their derby cars down the main hill in town at the conclusion of the parade. All throughout the weekend there will be booths with homemade items, fun events for young & old, and plenty of food at the Lion's Club Fish Fry tent.
As this year's Derby Days approaches, your Derby Days Committee is working to build upon this tradition. This year there will be a kickball tournament benefiting the fireworks fund for 2019, a 3K color walk, Car Show, and spectacular fireworks to end the weekend. Check out the menu bar as we add more information about the activities planned for this fun & exciting weekend!
