This is a fantastic event that takes place in Ærøskøbing every year and is increasing in popularity with each year that goes by. This is one that only the children of Ærø can take part in (aged between 8 – 16) where they ride little soapbox cars that have been built on the island and are provided by the event organisers. The children race in a number of events, culminating in the FINAL race on the Friday morning! Definitely one that will have you smiling from ear to ear and enjoying this amazing local event.
