Derby in the Dell

This year’s event isn’t just about racing—it’s about community spirit, creativity, giving back and paying it forward. Teams will show off their carts in themed designs, and spectators will get a chance to cast their vote for their favorite. From wild designs to clever team themes, the fun is sure to extend far beyond the finish line. Local businesses and organizations will have the chance to get involved through sponsorships that support this exciting event, which is brought to you by Iredell Civic Community United (or ICCU) which is a group of service clubs, churches, corporate volunteers, and other entities dedicated to empowering nonprofits and other organizations, to drive positive change, and to address pressing needs within our communities.

By providing support and assistance through this innovative partnership, ICCU can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families. Together, ICCU can build stronger, more resilient communities for generations to come. All proceeds from the Derby in the ’Dell will go toward the 2025 Imagine Iredell United project, benefiting the revitalization of the Chestnut Grove Community Center.

By participating, the community can enjoy an unforgettable night of energy, laughter, and pride—while helping build a brighter future for Iredell County. The Derby in the ’Dell is the perfect way to spend a fall evening with family, friends, and neighbors while supporting local talent and imagination. Mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable night of energy, laughter, and community pride! Thank you for being a part of this event and supporting your community!
