What is a Kinetic Sculpture?
It is a human-powered 3D representation of your interpretation of your favorite literary character or book. Bring your imagination to life using pedal power, as an individual or as a team. A team may include multiple members on a bike with themed costumes or multiple escorts in costume riding or walking along with a sculpture that includes kinetic movement.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Kinetic Derby Day is on Saturday, April 26, 2025, the sixth annual Kinetic Derby Day will return to Meeting and State Streets. This year, we are excited to announce the return of the kinetic sculpture parade to kick off the day, followed by soapbox racing. In addition to our Kids’ Zone, brought to you by the Boys and Girls Club, iMAGINE has joined us bringing a STEAM festival with demonstrations and even more hands-on experiences. We are looking for volunteers to help make this day a success. With large events like this we can not succeed without the hard work and support of our volunteers. We need volunteers from 6 am - 4 pm, but don’t worry you can sign up for either a morning or afternoon shift unless you want to spend your whole day having the time of your life. If you have any questions feel free to email Erin Hostetler at erin@faithfulmarketingevents.com
