The City of Santa Cruz will host “Touch-A-Truck” on May 20 from noon to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of Day’s Market in Seabright.
Attendees can climb aboard the heavy machinery, ask questions and learn how all the work gets done.
Touch-A-Truck is part of National Public Works Week, a nationwide recognition of the professionals who support roads, water systems, storm drains, parks and other infrastructure.
Attendees can also see operators in action during the fourth annual Equipment Road-e-o, a live skills competition that demonstrates the expertise and coordination required to operate heavy equipment safely and efficiently.
Both events, at 526 Seabright Ave. near the corner of Murray Street, are free and open to the public. Registration is not required, and walk-ups are welcome.
