Discover Belleville and the Rotary Club of Belleville are excited to bring back “Touch a Truck” as the feature of the Family FUNfest: Fall Edition this coming Saturday, September 16th, from 10 am to 3 pm, at West Zwick’s Park.
Rotary Club President Peter Malone offered their letter of support noting “this free event is much loved by children of all ages,” and acknowledging that over 8,000 people enjoyed the event last year.
Once again, West Zwick’s Park will be filled with all sorts of specialty vehicles that dig, climb, rescue, crunch, flash and honk!
Over 30 vehicles will be in the park to be explored.
There will be a “quiet hour” from 10 am to 11 am to support those who are sensitive to lights and noise so they can enjoy the vehicles in a calm environment.
Throughout the day, children are encouraged to climb aboard and learn how these vehicles operate while their big people can enjoy the artisan market vendors and tasty food.
The Side Hustle Market vendors will be joining us again for a day in the park with over 20 local crafters and artisans displaying their wares.
Food will be available at the Pop-ups on the Bay (their final weekend) and joined by family favourites Binge Box, Burger Revolution & Pink Funnel.
For extra fun, there will be free carriage rides, face painting and balloons!
The Hastings County Concert Band will perform a variety of songs including beloved Disney songs at 1 pm, followed by an instrument discovery time.
Creative Club (lots of Lego) and Melissa Brant’s Hoop Zone will be back again along with buskers Fall Fairy, Fall Princess and an adorable Scarecrow.
There will be community displays from Albert College, Children’s Safety Village, Belleville Senators, Quinte Conservation and Zone Athletics.
This is a free admission event, made possible by the City of Belleville, the Rotary Club of Belleville and all the “truck” drivers who shared their time.
