2025 Touch a Truck!

Does your kiddo love vehicles of all kinds? Dream of driving a police car, fire truck or dump truck some day? Just like to learn about cool stuff? If so, we have the perfect event for you and your family!

Join us for the FREE City of Bolivar's Touch a Truck! event from 3-6 p.m. Friday, May 23, at the Bolivar Recreation & Aquatic Center, 1710 W. Broadway St.

During the event, we’ll have different kinds of vehicles lined up down the old airport runway for kids to look at and touch.

The first hour, from 3-4 p.m., will be sensory sensitive, so there will be no lights or sirens during that time.

This year, we will also host a ribbon cutting for our new accessible playground on the Bolivar Recreation & Aquatic Center grounds!

You'll see vehicles from the following organizations at our Touch a Truck! event:
Bolivar Police Department
Bolivar City Fire Department
Bolivar Street Department
Missouri Department of Transportation
Bolivar Ready Mix
And more!

Don't miss this one-of-a-kind event!
