Big trucks. Big fun. Big community! Bring the whole family to Touch-a-Truck at Ingraham Park for an afternoon of hands-on fun. Explore the vehicles that help keep Evanston running, meet the people behind the wheel, and discover how they serve our community every day.

Climb aboard city vehicles, meet firefighters, police officers, library staff, and other local professionals, and check out everything from a fire truck and police vehicle to the Bookmobile, recycling truck, street sweeper, bucket truck, water truck, and more.

You can also join the Chicago Union Ultimate Frisbee Association for a fun demo and community game, then cool off with a Kona Ice shaved ice treat, available for purchase.
