Power the Night - Touch-A-Truck Event

Families are invited to get up close and hands-on with the big machines that help keep our city running at the inaugural “Power the Night” Touch-A-Truck Event, hosted by the City of DeLand’s Public Works Department.

The event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 23 at Earl Brown Park.

“This is a great opportunity for kids and adults to learn more about the hard-working teams serving our city,” said Public Works Director Ray Underwood. “From street sweepers to bucket trucks, it’s a chance for people to see the equipment we use to keep our city safe.”

Often working behind the scenes, Public Works employees are among the first to respond following hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters – helping to clear roads of debris and ensuring critical infrastructure is operational in a timely manner.

Highlights of the event include:
- Live equipment demonstrations
- Paint-a-Truck bucket activity
- Local vendors and games
- Free food provided by the Rotary Club of Downtown DeLand

Admission is free and all ages are welcome. The celebration coincides with National Public Works Week, with this year’s theme being “People, Purpose, Presence”.
