Texas City, TX, October 17, 2025 --(PR.com)-- More than 100 vehicles will be on display for kids to climb on and explore this Saturday at the City of Texas City’s annual Touch a Truck event.
“From a hot pink limo to a helicopter, Touch a Truck is going to have it all,” said event organizer Jennifer Laird. “There are boats, race cars, construction equipment, tanker trucks, emergency response vehicles – you name it, and it’ll probably be there on Saturday!”
The City of Texas City's annual Touch a Truck event will be held in historic downtown 6th Steet on Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a special horn/siren-free sensory hour from 9-10 a.m.
In addition to the vehicles, there will be monster truck rides, bounce houses, obstacle courses, face painting, pumpkin decorating, food trucks, two giant corn boxes, more than 35 vendors, a balloon artist, music and more.
Admission is free.
“Touch a Truck is truly a community event; it’s for the community, and it’s also made possible by the community,” Laird said. “All of the organizations, agencies and businesses who come out with their vehicles – they are the heroes of this event.”
“Several local businesses get in on the fun in other ways as well,” Laird said. “Frost Bank, for example, is sponsoring a balloon artist, which is one of the most popular attractions, and a new interactive bubble area. And Terror Isle offers a special, children’s version of their haunted house for $5 per person, where they turn off all the monsters, don’t make it as dark and don’t use scary costumes.”
The event is still accepting vehicle participants.
