Kirby Derby

Produced by
Pullen Park Terrace
in partnership with
Dorothea Dix Park,
Dix Park Conservancy,
and the City of Raleigh

A Raleigh Tradition Since 2002

The first Kirby Derby Day was in 2002 on Kirby St, a part of the tiny neighborhood, Pullen Park Terrace, which is just southwest from downtown. The neighborhood continues to develop and manage Kirby Derby, but many many more neighborhoods are represented by participants, costumed spectators and volunteers. 2017 was the first year at its new location in Dorothea Dix Park. Since then, Dix Park, Dix Conservancy and the City of Raleigh have all supported the growth and production of Kirby Derby.
