Morristown Derby Days is quickly approaching for its 78th year — happening July 24–25, 2026 🇺🇸🏁

Our sponsorship letters have already gone out, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support that’s already come in. That said, we still have sponsorship opportunities available — and there is always a need for those who want to be part of making this event happen.

From fireworks and live music to kids activities and community spaces, Derby Days continues because of the businesses and individuals who step up to support it.

✨ Sponsoring Derby Days is a great way to:
• Support a long-standing community tradition
• Get your business in front of a large local audience
• Play a direct role in bringing this event to life

If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, there’s still time:

We’re excited to share that the official Morristown Derby Days website is now LIVE! 🎉

This has been a big project for our team, and we’re so excited to finally have a place where the community can find event details, sign-ups, history, and everything Derby Days all in one spot.

As we continue building, you may notice a few sections still being finalized or updated. We appreciate your patience as we keep adding more information and features!

Take a look around and stay tuned… there’s more to come 👀

🗣️ good morning!

🗳️If you could nominate someone as the grand marshal of this years parade, who would it be and why?
💭Think about who is doing great things in the
community because they want to not because they have to.
We will discuss and choose nominations from 🫵🏻 nominations.
Leave your nomination 👇 in the comments or feel free to contact us via email at [email protected] 📧

❗️Please note: Morristown Matters board members are not eligible for nomination. Our board members generously volunteer their time to plan Derby Days and help select the Grand Marshal, so this ensures there is no conflict of interest while allowing us to highlight other amazing members of our community.

We have decided to lower our booth rent to $25 a booth as the event is at Town of Morristown Parks and will be held on Saturday ONLY!

We are listening to our vendors who don’t always have the best of luck with business on Friday night in past years.

We want to focus on making this a great day, and not take away from the events on Friday night.

Parade Sign up is available!
There is no cost to be in the parade.
We just ask that you sign up early if possible, and review and sign for the liability waiver.
IF you wait until the day of that is ok, but it does slow the process down, as you will have to sign the liability waiver then.
