Touch-A-Truck
Big Trucks. Little Hands.
Tons of Fun!
Touch-a-Truck is a family-centric event that offers children a hands-on opportunity to explore all sorts of trucks and vehicles, such as emergency, utility, construction, transportation, and buses. In addition to getting to climb in and on the various trucks and machinery, children also get to meet the people who build, protect and serve the greater Spokane community. Historically, there are usually over 30 local and national companies that proudly participate in the Junior League of Spokane’s annual Touch-a-Truck event.
In addition to vehicle exploration, children will enjoy trick-or-treating at decorated trucks and vehicles hosted by local businesses and community partners, making this a unique blend of community connection and seasonal fun.
Vehicles on display routinely include construction trucks, emergency responders, tractor-trailers, utility trucks, and more. The event also features booths from community partners, local mascots, face painters, and food trucks.

Q: Do you have etickets available for purchase?
A: Yes! We are continuing the use of an eticketing program. You will be able to pull up the link to the tickets and we will scan them at the entrance. Note, the QR code is unique and may not be shared. There is no transaction fee for purchasing the etickets, however, we do have a setting in which you may donate the credit card processing fees.
Q: When I go to buy etickets, it is asking me to put in my name and email,is this correct?
A: It is. The way this program works is that it collects your name and email at the beginning. It may say that it cannot find an account, and that is ok. (Note: if you are a JLS member, please sign in with your account credentials that you use for portal access). We DO NOT require you to make an account. Just click next and it will take you to the ticket purchasing screen.
Q: How do I get my etickets?
A: After you purchase your tickets, you will receive an email from “DoNotReply@ajli.org” In this email, at the very end, there is a hyperlink that will pull up your eticket. Please check your spam. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, please email touchatruck@jlspokane.org and we will resend you the link. Please include your name and the email you used so we can accurately find your transaction.

A: The event will occur rain or shine. Because this is a fundraiser, there are no refunds offered since the event will occur regardless of the weather.
Q: Is there a sensory-friendly time?
A: Yes. The entire event should be more sensory- friendly (no honking of horns) with the exception of 1:45-2:00pm, where we will let kids honk horns. While we do ask kids to not honk horns at other times, it may be possible that an accidental horn gets blown, and we are sorry in advance if this happens. There will also be music played at this event.
