Come explore the trucks, meet the crews and enjoy an afternoon of hands-on fun. No registration is required, and all ages are welcome.
FREE POOL PASSES
All children ages 12-and-under will receive a free pass to the West Plains Aquatic Center. Passes may be used the same day or anytime during the remaining 2026 swim season. After checking out the trucks, head over to the Aquatic Center and keep the fun going with a swim!
New Location Within People’s Park
Touch the Truck is still being held at People’s Park, but the location within the park has changed this year. Due to ongoing construction near the Aquatic Center, the event will be held in the parking lot at the corner of Broadway and Halstead.
We hope to see you there!
