About this Event

Mark your calendars — Truck Touch 2025 is rolling in!


On Saturday, May 3, 2025, RFK Stadium’s Lot 8 will rev up with excitement from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM for the District of Columbia’s annual "Truck Touch" celebration — a high-energy, hands-on experience for all ages.

Watch local students take the wheel as they navigate a dynamic track in electric vehicles they’ve engineered themselves — showcasing innovation and energy-conscious design in action. Get a front-row seat for the EV time trials from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, followed by wheel-to-wheel racing kicking off at 12:30 PM.

Explore nearly 30 types of impressive vehicles from DC government agencies — from street sweepers and snowplows to dump trucks, police cruisers, fire engines, and even mobile medical units. This is your chance to hop inside, honk the horn, and learn about the tools that keep our city moving.

Hosted by the DC Department of Public Works, this free, family-friendly event invites kids to climb aboard big rigs while grown-ups get to test out equipment usually seen from a distance. The DC Department of Parks and Recreationwill keep the energy high with interactive games and activities — including tennis, basketball, and fitness challenges.

Thanks to the DC Free Summer Meals Program, youth under 18 can grab a free packed lunch to fuel their fun-filled day.
