Get ready for the ultimate hands-on adventure! Join the City of Andover and Point Nine for the annual Touch a Truck event. This isn’t just a day to look at cool machines—it’s a chance for your little explorers to climb into the driver’s seat, honk the horns, and discover how these giant rigs actually work!
From the massive loaders that move the earth to the street sweepers that keep our streets clean, it’s a front-row seat to the heavy-duty stars of the city. It is the perfect afternoon for kiddos to burn off some energy, ignite their curiosity, and take the coolest photos of the year!
