Touch-a-Truck bonanza at Star of the Sea School, Saturday

This Saturday, the always popular Fall Festival is taking place at the Star of the Sea School (345 8th Avenue). The highlight of the festival is their Touch-a-Truck event where vehicles from all kinds of city departments are parked on 8th Avenue for kids to explore.

From 10am until 2pm kids can explore, climb and role-play to their heart’s content on nearly 20 fire trucks, police cars, construction vehicles, buses, and more. I went last year with some friends and their kids and it was good for hours of entertainment for both boys and girls.

Star of the Sea’s fall festival will also feature live entertainment, bounce houses, Tree Frog Treks, magician Magic Dan, arts and crafts, bingo, children’s games and prizes, a dunk tank, delicious food and much more.

Admission to the festival is free, but there is a $10 charge per child to access the touch-a-truck area. The festival runs on Saturday from 10am until 6pm with the trucks on site from 10am until 2pm only. For more information, call 221-8558.

  1. do you happen to know if that’s $10 for the whole family, or $10 per adult, or $10 per kid? THANKS

  2. @cf – It is $10 per child, just checked with Star of the Sea. They said there will be nearly 20 vehicles on site this year. Yay!

  3. @Sharon – Probably not until October, 2011. They do it annually. You can try calling the school for an exact date – 221-8558
