Touch-a-Truck: Big Wheels, Big Fun for the Whole Family! 

Writer: Nicole FalgoutNicole Falgout

Junior League of Lafayette is proud to bring back the highly anticipated Touch-a-Truck event, an interactive and educational experience designed to engage children and families in the community. This exciting event allows kids to get up close and personal with large vehicles such as fire trucks, construction equipment, and emergency response vehicles while learning about their functions and the professionals who operate them. 


A Hands-On Learning Experience 

Last year, Touch-a-Truck drew over 4,000 attendees, giving families a unique opportunity to explore various vehicles, ask questions, and interact with first responders, construction workers, and other professionals. By climbing aboard these impressive machines, children foster curiosity and gain insight into different career paths in a fun and engaging way. 




Supporting Community Initiatives 

Beyond the fun, Touch-a-Truck plays a vital role in supporting Junior League of Lafayette’s broader community initiatives. The funds raised from the event help sustain impactful programs.
