Palm Coast’s fourth annual Touch a Truck event will take place on May 11 in Town Center with over 75 vehicles from participating agencies.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Palm Coast families will be able to come out and have an interactive, educational experience with a variety of utility vehicles and equipment. This year’s theme is “Connecting Our Worlds to the Future,” a Palm Coast press release said.

A range of agencies are participating in the event, including the Palm Coast Public Works, Stormwater, Utility and Fire Departments, Flagler County Fire Rescue, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the East Flagler Mosquito Control District, the Florida Highway Patrol and the Florida National Guard.

Attendees of all ages will be able to hop in the driver’s seat of various work vehicles, from dump trucks, to helicopters to fire trucks.

The event is free and the first hour, 10-11 a.m. will be a designated “horn-free” hour “to ensure a great experience for everyone,” the press release said. Park Street, Lake Ave., and part of City Place will be closed for the event.
