This family-friendly event is free and open to the public, providing an exciting opportunity for children to climb, sit, and explore a wide array of vehicles.
This year, a diverse lineup of vehicles from local businesses and organizations will be on display, including contributions from the City of Aiken and our community partners, who are dedicated to making this annual event a memorable and educational experience for families.
To accommodate all guests, the event will feature a Sensory Hour from 9 am to 10 am, during which sirens, lights, and horns will be limited for a quieter, more comfortable experience.
Additionally, food vendors and a variety of other activities will be available throughout the event to ensure a fun-filled day for everyone.
The Power Wheels Derby kicks off at 10 am, and registration is just $5. Participants must be 8 years of age or younger and must bring their own helmet and vehicle. Space is limited, so be sure to register online at coa.page/pfaa or in person at the Odell Weeks Activities Center starting August 3.
