JLA Touch-A-Truck 2023

Touch-A-Truck®️ is an annual, community-wide event where both kids and kids-at-heart have the opportunity to see, touch, climb, and learn about vehicles of all types! Guests will get to meet the trucks and the drivers who operate them.

Children can “Truck-Or-Treat” during the festival! Family-friendly costumes are encouraged but not required. Fake or real weapons with the costumes are not permitted in the venue.

Food, beverages, and additional activities for kids and adults will be on-site as well. There will be a quiet hour from 11am – 12pm for individuals sensitive to loud noises. Parental supervision is required.

Proceeds from this event support the Junior League of Asheville and fund the Be The Change Grant Program. Tickets for Touch-A-Truck®️ are $5 per person for ages 3 and up.

You can also pay with cash or card at the gate. Exact change is appreciated!
