Kids and adults of all ages are invited to Westgate Entertainment District to experience industrial trucks firsthand at the Empire Cat “Touch a Truck” event.

In conjunction with Glendale Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services, the highly anticipated event drew over 4,000 attendees last year, and promises to be even more popular this time around. Truck lovers and tiny tots alike are encouraged to explore these giant vehicles and get a look into the controls and operations from the driver’s point-of-view.
