All Treats, No Tricks: SAFE’s Touch-a-Truck is Now Truck-or-Treat 

Written by Valeria Perez

SAFE’s Touch-a-Truck has offered nearly a decade of fun for families while raising lifesaving support for survivors of violence and abuse. This year we are excited to announce some spooktacular changes! We’ll have all the trucks, bounce houses, and crafts of year’s past, but this year will be our first Halloween-themed event. Attendees are encouraged to wear costumes and trick-or-treat on the truck field. To match the theme, we’re changing the name to SAFE’s Truck-or-Treat and setting the date for Octubre 24th. 

What you can look forward to this year 

Grab your costumes! This year kids can do some trick or treating fun while they get up close with a wide variety of vehicles!  

And when we say wide variety, we mean it! Busses, construction vehicles, moving vans, stunning show cars and so much more!  Truck-or-Treat is guaranteed to delight your kiddos as they get up close to explore, honk horns, or even get behind the wheel for a photo! 

Attendees can also look forward to family-friendly fall activities, including crafts, candy, and more. Truck-or-Treat truly has something for everyone! 

The event also features live music, craft stations, and an Inflatable Zone where young explorers can jump, play, and slide on open-air inflatables, plus so much more. 

Arrive early and kick off the fun with complimentary food and non-alcoholic beverages starting at 10 a.m., available while supplies last. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the Ultra Bar. Concessions will stay open all day to purchase additional treats and refreshments as needed.

Your fun day will provide other Austin families with the care they need because every ticket directly supports SAFE’s mission to Stop Abuse For Everyone. This means that attendees like you help SAFE continue to provide shelter, counseling, and support services for over 5,000 clients a year, nearly a third are children.  

Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of survivors and their families, provide crucial violence prevention education to youth, and support children through 20+ programs, ensuring everyone who steps through their doors can experience a loving, safe home.
