418 Myrtle Ave, NY, 11205

Rev up the Fun on Sept. 19 with Myrtle Avenue’s Touch A Truck!



Get ready to climb aboard, honk some horns and explore some seriously big wheels!
Join the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership as we transform Clinton Avenue into a FREE, family-friendly playground of trucks, vehicles and hands-on fun. Touch A Truck gives kids the chance to get up close to the vehicles they see working around New York City every day – and, in many cases, climb aboard, hop into the driver’s seat, steer and explore these mighty machines for themselves!
This year’s confirmed participants include NYC DOT, DSNY, NYC Parks, FDNY, NYPD, Park Slope Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklyn Public Library’s Kidsmobile x Walt Whitman Branch, JP Urban Moving, Dumbo Moving, ECDNY and Walton Hauling.
And the fun goes well beyond the trucks! Enjoy music from Clinton Hill’s finest, father-and-son DJ duo Saint James Joy, book giveaways from Brooklyn Book Bodega, NYC Ghostbusters’ signature Slime Lab, Double Dutch with Elite BKLYN Jumpers, face painting &amp; balloon twisting by Sparkly Faces, America’s favorite pastime –&nbsp; Headbasket, and so much more.
Bring your family and friends, and share the fun by tagging us<a href="https://www.instagram.com/myrtleavebklyn/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> @myrtleavebklyn</a>
Please note: Vehicle participation is subject to change.
