Touch a Truck Returns

Kick off the fun next week at Hilliard’s annual Touch a Truck event! Join us Thursday, May 14, from 10 a.m. to noon in Downtown Hilliard for a chance to get up close with the vehicles that keep our community moving.

Held in the Center Lot next to Hilliard’s Station Park, this family-friendly event features everything from semi-trucks to police cruisers and fire engines. Beyond the big wheels, visitors can enjoy face painting, balloon twisting, crafts, and more. It’s a hands-on experience kids love and adults do too!
