City to host two more May events in kickoff of summer season

The leadup to summer is here, and the City is kicking things off with some exciting May events!

Touch a Truck

Next week, take a deep dive into the trucks you see daily in the community at Touch a Truck, an event held in Downtown Hilliard. Climb into a Norwich Township fire truck, peek into a Hilliard Police cruiser, sit in the driver’s seat of a semi-truck, and more. Plus, snag a construction vest, enjoy inflatable games, and take a picture with a spotted dog strolling character.

This event is perfect for kids fascinated with things on four (or more!) wheels and is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with the vehicles that shape our community every day.

Touch a Truck will be held May 15, from 10 a.m. – noon at the Wayne and Center streets parking lot in Downtown Hilliard.

A big thank you goes out to the Touch a Truck sponsors: Credit Union of Ohio, Amazon, Raising Cane’s, Rita’s of Hilliard, and Bone Dry Roofing.

After Touch a Truck, bring the whole family to Opening Day at the Ballpark (hyper-link) the very next evening!

Opening Day At The Ballpark

Baseball enthusiasts will be pleased to hear the event will feature a screening of one of the greatest baseball movies of all time, Angels in the Outfield, on the ballfields in Municipal Park. Plus, enjoy free popcorn, run the bases, and create a baseball craft. Remember to bring a chair or blanket to best enjoy the evening.

Opening Day at the Ballpark will be May 16 from 6-9 p.m. at ballfields 1 to 4 in Municipal Park.

A big thank you to the Opening Day at the Ballpark sponsors for making this event possible: Thai Orthodontics, Amazon, Beef O’Bradys, Hilliard Pediatric Dentistry, and Japanese Automotive. A special thank you to Bone Dry Roofing for donating the LED truck that will be used to screen the movie. 

The City of Hilliard’s summer event season is just now heating up, so stay tuned for more information on upcoming fun! This summer will see some familiar favorites return, as well as exciting, new events that are sure to be a hit.
