Rigs for Kids, Sunday 30 August 2026
This years’ fun day is to be held on Sunday 30th August from 8.30am. The event is hosted by the local transport industry to provide children with special needs, a chance to get close to the big rigs they see on the roads.
The invitation is for a child with special needs and a supporting adult to come down to the Cnr Midland and Otaki Streets (the old Rattray’s building) where they will be taken for a ride in a truck, and then returned for a barbeque lunch.
We would like to emphasise that the day is primarily for children with special needs and their immediate families. We would ask you to take this into consideration when organising your family group.
Registration at 8am
Trucks depart 11am
Please Note:
If child is aged 7 or under, bring their car seat or booster seat
One caregiver per child to travel in the truck
