The Junior League of Greenwich Welcomed Over 2000 People to Its Annual Touch A Truck!

The Junior League of Greenwich (JLG) held it’s 19^th Touch A Truck! to rave reviews as it continues to be one of the most popular family events in the community. Touch A Truck! returned to the Greenwich Town Hall on Sunday, May 17, 2026 under a stunning, blue sky and perfect summer-like temperatures. The JLG’s hands-on, family-friendly community event where children can climb, explore, and interact with heavy machinery and emergency vehicles welcomed more than 2000 attendees.

Besides the variety of trucks, food, entertainment, and goodies for families, the JLG had VIP access as well as Reduced Sensory time for children who benefit from a smaller group setting without the loud sirens and flashing lights.

“It was an absolutely picture-perfect day for photos and fun, and just seeing the smiles, laughter, and awe from so many children warms your heart,” said Sammie Jacobs, President of the Junior League of Greenwich. “We also sponsored 20 local families and clients of our community partners to come enjoy the event free of charge.”

Three new activities to Touch A Truck! this year were instant fan favorites as children couldn't get enough of the bubble machine, mini-golf, and the scavenger hunt for trucks of all shapes and sizes. Meanwhile, back by popular demand was the trackless train ride. Children also enjoyed breaking boards with SSDS Martial Arts and putting bandages on the GEMS life sized teddy bear.

The JLG thanks the generous truck operators as well as 50 volunteers who donated 150+ hours to help make this magical day another exciting success for the books.
