If your child lights up at the sight of a fire truck or can’t resist waving at construction vehicles, this is one event you won’t want to miss. The Junior League of Baton Rouge’s Touch A Truck is back, bringing a full day of hands-on fun for families across the community.
Held on Saturday, March 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., this beloved annual event invites kids (and kids at heart!) to get up close with some of the biggest and coolest vehicles around. From fire trucks and ambulances to bulldozers and garbage trucks, children can climb aboard, honk horns, and explore the machines that keep Baton Rouge running.
What makes Touch A Truck especially parent-friendly is its thoughtful design. The event includes “Silent Hours” from 9–11 a.m., offering a quieter, sensory-friendly experience for children who may be sensitive to loud noises.
Beyond the excitement, Touch A Truck also has a meaningful mission. Proceeds from the event support the Junior League of Baton Rouge’s community programs, helping strengthen and serve families throughout the area.
In addition to vehicle exploration, families can expect interactive elements like hands-on activities and opportunities to meet the real-life heroes who operate these machines every day. It’s not just about trucks; it’s about sparking curiosity, encouraging learning, and creating lasting family memories.
Whether your child dreams of driving a dump truck or simply loves pressing buttons and pulling levers, Touch A Truck delivers a unique, engaging experience for all ages.
