TOUCH A TRUCK

TOUCH A TRUCK

Touch-a-Truck is a beloved Jackson Hole tradition and one of JHCM’s most important fundraisers. This FREE family event draws over 2,000 locals and visitors each year for the chance to climb inside, honk the horn, and explore the levers, switches, and gears that make construction, emergency, law enforcement, food service, and recreation vehicles move.

The event also honors the vehicle operators who build, serve, and protect our community every day.
