Touch-A-Truck
Don't miss this Austin family favorite: the 8th annual Touch-A-Truck at Camp Mabry on Saturday, May 12th from 10am – 3pm.
- Touch, climb on, and explore over 60 big and loud motor vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, excavators, dozers, and more
- Learn about the automobiles and how they help serve our communities
- Have fun in the Kid Zone incl. petting zoo, face painting, barrel-train rides, giant slide, and more
- Listen to live music
- Grab some lunch from one of the many food trucks
Touch a Life
The fun-filled family-friendly event raises funds for SAFE programs on the Austin Children’s Shelter campus. Austin Children’s Services (ACS) helps children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, and supports prevention programs that keep kids safe in their homes. Last year, ACS were able to raise over $100,000 in ticket sales and sponsorships! Help make this event successful by volunteering, becoming a sponsor, or simply by coming out and having some fun with your little ones.
