Touch a Truck
Join us for a fun-filled day for a good cause, at the 4th annual Touch a Truck event hosted by the Junior League of Oakland-East Bay in Briones, CA!
Get your tickets now, and bring the whole family. This hands-on family affair offers children and families the chance to explore a fascinating array of unique and fun vehicles all in one place! From emergency public service vehicles to rugged land movers and utility trucks, let the little ones in your life unleash their curiosity and imagination through interactive exploration! And this event offers more than just truck exploration — enjoy music, food from local food trucks, wine tasting, activities including farm animals feed, face painting, lawn games, kids' crafts, and our curated raffle drawing.
Touch a Truck is set against the scenic backdrop of Balestrieri Family Farms, a small, family run farm located in the beautiful hills of Briones in Contra Costa County. With olive trees and grapes, the farm produces wonderful wines, olive oils, honey, and more! We are grateful to our friends at BFF for being an incredible partner and venue three years in a row.
As our flagship fundraiser each year, your participation funds our League’s Community Enrichment Fund (CEF), which allows us to offer grants to community-based organizations in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. We are proud to support the work of organizations that improve the lives of women and children in our community.
GET YOUR TICKETS NOW, so you don't miss out on this exciting community event — NOTE: we recommend buying your tickets in advance as this event sells out every year and we have limited availability for day of tickets, if capacity allows.
