Big trucks are returning to Port Royal this weekend.

The second annual Touch-a-Truck event will allow children to a playground of police, fire, emergency and construction vehicles on Paris Avenue. Cost is $5 per person, and the event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Paris Avenue.

The event conflicts with Beaufort County schools makeup day Saturday, but event organizers extended the hours to allow school-age children to attend.

In addition to the vehicles, face-painting, bounce houses, music, food and drink will be part of the festivities.

If it rains, the event will be rescheduled for Dec. 2. No pets are allowed.
