Description

The 8th annual Junior League of Phoenix Touch-a-Truck event will be a drive-thru experience at Paradise Valley Mall. This family-friendly event offers children a unique opportunity to explore some of their favorite big trucks and heavy machinery from the safety of your vehicle. Vehicles on display routinely include construction trucks, emergency responders, tractor trailers, and utility trucks. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; you must preregister for timed attendance. A “horn-free hour” from 9-10 a.m. will be observed for children with special needs and sensitive ears. Face coverings will be required for anyone in the vehicle who is interacting with Touch-a-Truck participants and volunteers. $25/vehicle; all proceeds benefit local community programs and training sponsored by the Junior League of Phoenix.
