Zelienople Bed Derby 2026

The Zelienople Bed Derby takes place at Zelienople Community Park. Teams race decorated beds, and spectators vote for the best-looking entry. While a specific date isn't provided, the event's structure is clear: speed and decoration are key, with the Library receiving proceeds from the $30 entry fee. Prizes are awarded for Best Time and Best Decorated Bed, making the derby a blend of racing and a rolling costume contest. The event honors Jason Sarver, a founder, and this year's theme is patriotic, coinciding with America's 250th celebration.
