TOUCH-A-TRUCK is a community wide event where both kids and kids at heart have the opportunity to see, touch, and learn about vehicles of all types, including public service, emergency, utility, construction, transportation, and delivery—all in one place! Guests will get to meet the drivers and people who operate these vehicles.
Each child will be given a bag of candy upon exiting the event. Additional activities on-site will include nonprofit organizations that focus on family and children’s issues, complimentary balloon creations, and other special attractions. Parental supervision is required and cameras are highly recommended to capture the day’s special adventures.
Costumes are encouraged but not required. At this time, the JLA will require that anyone ages 3 and up wear a face covering/face mask to attend the event. Please follow their Facebook event page for any potential updates on this requirement.
The last event in 2019 exceeded expectations with over 2,000 attendees from the Asheville community and the surrounding areas. The TOUCH-A-TRUCK Family Festival offers local organizations a unique opportunity to showcase their brand and interact with the community in a fun and educational environment. There are several opportunities for organizations to participate: event sponsorship, truck/vehicle exhibition, or in-kind support.
Financial sponsors for this year’s event include collaborating sponsors New Dream Renovations, Bayou North and Kids Garden; as well as supporting sponsors Zaniac Asheville, Tracey Morgan Gallery, and Fields Auto Group
The Junior League of Asheville organizes TOUCH-A-TRUCK Family Festival for the community to enjoy. It also supports the League’s mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving our community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
