We at the JCC are proud to present the most anticipated children's event of 2025: Touch-a-Truck!
Touch-A-Truck at the JCC attracts hundreds of children and families for an interactive, hands-on-event that allows children to climb on, explore and discover their favorite trucks and vehicles, including fire engines, police cars and construction trucks. This special event includes over 20 different vehicles, food, arts & crafts, bounce house and DJ fun for everyone provided by Liverpool Productions! It's a childhood dream come to life, including activities that will keep the whole family entertained!
This one of a kind event will be held rain or shine.
Join us from 10:00 - 11:00 AM for a "Hold the Horn" Quiet Time for children with special needs and those with auditory sensitivity issues - no horns, music or sirens during that time.
Community sponsors are essential in ensuring that this wonderful event continues. Your generous support ensures free admission for hundreds of families from the Greater New Haven area. Sponsorship provides the unique opportunity to not only showcase your brand to a large, eclectic audience, but to also interact and build a relationship with children, parents, educators and community leaders. We offer you the opporutnity to reach a key demographic: FAMILIES. All event sponsors will benefit from pre-event marketing, day-of signage and promotion on our Thank You Board and announcements by our DJ.
