Allen Park TOUCH-A-TRUCK

Allen Park’s 14th annual Touch-a-Truck offers a hands-on look at the machines that keep the community moving. Children and adults can climb into the driver’s seat, honk the horns, and explore fire engines, police cruisers, construction equipment, and other specialty trucks up close. The professionals who operate these vehicles will be on hand to meet attendees and share how their work and equipment function. It is a family-friendly day filled with exploration, discovery, and memory-making.
