Do you know what a Touch A Truck event is? It’s a family-friendly gathering of real vehicles that kids (and their chaperones!) can climb aboard, push buttons, and honk horns.
The Junior League of the East Bay has put together a Touch A Truck event for April 29, 2023 at Balestrieri Family Farms in Briones and tickets are available now.
What to expect at the Briones Touch A Truck event
Briones is a green hilly area adjacent to Martinez, about 30 minutes from Berkeley. The farm will be welcoming families to hang out for the day, so if you’d like to pack a blanket and lunch, you can set up a home base while you enjoy the festivities.
Vehicles on display will include
- public service vehicles such as police cars
- land movers
- utility trucks
- vintage vehicles
Live music, kid-appropriate crafts, and farm animals will round out the afternoon, making it a fun family outing.
Note: A quiet hour is programmed for sensitive children from 1:30-2:30 (no horns)
Tickets are $15/kids; $20/adults
