Touch a Truck

Bring the family to a fun, hands‑on Michigan getaway at the Howell Recreation Touch a Truck event on Saturday, May 9 from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, with a Sensory‑Friendly Hour from 9:00–10:00 AM. Held at Kensington Valley Outlets (1475 N. Burkhart Rd.), this free, no‑registration‑required event invites children of all ages to climb inside and explore the trucks and vehicles they see every day, while learning about the organizations that use them.

Make it a destination getaway by extending your visit—shop at the outlets, grab lunch at nearby local restaurants, or explore area parks and trails. You’ll also find plenty of hidden gems nearby, from downtown Howell’s charming shops to family‑friendly attractions, making it easy to turn this event into a full day of fun.
