Local families will have a unique opportunity to get an up-close look at the machinery that keeps their municipality running smoothly. The City of Fountain Inn Municipality has announced it will host a special “Touch-a-Truck” event next weekend in conjunction with the weekly farmers market.

the interactive community gathering is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026.

Hands-On Exploration of Public Service Fleets

The weekend event is designed to give children and residents a hands-on experience with a diverse lineup of city and public service vehicles. Attendees will be permitted to explore the vehicles, sit in the driver’s seats, and learn about the operational features of essential equipment.

The showcased fleet will include vehicles from multiple municipal branches, featuring:

• Fountain Inn Police Department patrol vehicles

• Fountain Inn Fire Department fire engines and rescue trucks

Connecting the Community with Local Workers

In addition to exploring the machinery, the event serves as an educational outreach opportunity. Families will be able to meet, speak with, and ask questions of the individual public servants, first responders, and municipal employees who operate the equipment daily.

City organizers highlighted the event as an excellent avenue for residents to engage directly with local departments, helping children better understand the services that keep Fountain Inn safe and functional.

The Touch-a-Truck event will run alongside the standard vendor market offerings on Main Street. Residents looking for further schedule details, parking information, or upcoming market events can monitor updates via the Main Street Fountain Inn digital platform.
