[ALERT: Ridgewood Touch-a-Truck Day 2026 is CANCELED!!
With a full morning of likely rain in the forecast for THIS Thursday, May 14, an abundance of concern for the well-being of event-goers has caused us to CANCEL Ridgewood Touch-a-Truck Day 2026. Meanwhile, we look forward to seeing you next year as we prepare for Ridgewood Touch-a-Truck Day 2027!]
Imagine taking a seat behind the wheel of a real police cruiser ready to roll, climbing aboard a shiny fire truck as you prepare to battle a blaze, exploring up-close a fleet of the other emergency and public works vehicles you’ve only seen at a distance on the streets of Ridgewood.
Treat your children to a day of hands-on adventure, featuring opportunities to climb on board the vehicles that touch their lives, when Touch-a-Truck 2026 rolls into downtown Ridgewood’s Memorial Park at Van Neste Square on Thursday, May 14.
Ridgewood emergency and public works vehicles will be ready for action along the Oak Street side of the park from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. as the local heroes who serve the Village also will be on hand to share their favorite tales about the exciting work they perform every day.
As an added bonus, they’ll be a Safetytown Kiddie-Car Driving Track hosted by the Ridgewood Police Department and Little Ivy Learning Center. . . a special Truck Storytime hosted by the Ridgewood Public Library and more!
Touch-a-Truck Day, a free event co-sponsored by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Ridgewood, is coordinated by Little Ivy Learning Center as part of its ongoing commitment to serve our community’s children and their families.
We look forward to meeting your family on Touch-a-Truck Day!
