Touch a Truck Event {City of Coconut Creek}

Coconut Creek families are invited to an exciting Touch-A-Truck event to explore a diverse lineup of police cars, fire-rescue vehicles, public works trucks, and buses.

It will take place on Saturday, April 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Butterfly Lot, 5280 NW 40th Street. The first hour will be sensory-friendly, with no loud noises.

Touch-A-Truck will be free to the public, and attendees will be encouraged to touch and climb aboard a variety of vehicles in a safe, comfortable environment. Children will be allowed to sit in a fire truck cab and then talk with firefighters. They will have the opportunity to learn about how utility and construction vehicles work. According to the city, there will be children’s activities, a DJ, and food vendors.

“It is a great event to bring the families so they can see what is involved in maintaining a city and meeting the employees that operate the vehicles,” said Mayor Jackie Railey.
