About Touch-A-Truck

This event gives kids a chance to get up close to around 70 different vehicles. Children can climb, touch, and explore trucks like fire trucks, police cars, construction vehicles, and more. It’s a fun way for kids to learn while they play.

There will also be STEM activities set up by local businesses, giving kids even more hands-on fun. Families can also enjoy food and drinks from vendors and watch special performances throughout the day.
