Welcome to Junior League of Lafayette’s Touch-a-Truck®! Join us on March 21, 2026, for a full day of hands-on exploration, family fun, and unforgettable experiences. This interactive event invites
children of all ages to climb aboard, touch, and learn about a wide variety of vehicles - from first responder units and construction equipment to specialty trucks and even a helicopter.
Get up close with firetrucks, ambulances, police cruisers, excavators, cement mixers, garbage trucks, news vehicles, and more while meeting the professionals who operate them. Young
explorers can dig and discover in the Dig Zone, enjoy animal encounters, and snap memorable photos throughout the day. Local food trucks will be on site with delicious treats to keep everyone energized.
Touch-a-Truck® brings our community together while supporting the Mission of Junior League of Lafayette: promoting voluntarism and creating positive, lasting impacts in Acadiana.

Come see, come learn, come explore.
