Kane County Farm Bureau Foundation’s (KCFB) 20th Touch-A-Tractor weekend of family fun will be held Friday through Sunday, April 10-12, at KCFB, 2N710 S.Randall Rd., St. Charles. Hours are Friday noon to 4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m..
Cooped-up kids have a field day at this farm-to-city event bringing the best in Kane County farming to the public. Kids scramble across the lawn to touch antique tractors and even sit in the seats of massive farm machinery they typically only see from the road.
They can ask questions of Kane County farmers, participate in hands-on activities, ride pedal tractors, frolic in the corn corral, crawl through culverts, play with toy tractors and farm equipment, and see farm animals. Parents say their kids ask them to come back year after year.
Farm Bureau also welcomes groups and organizations to set-up informational booths that provide education about farms and farmers to families and the public, or to arrange for farm themed games, activities or learning. The event attracts 1,000-1,500 visitors over the three-day weekend.
Touch-A-Tractor is the KCFB Foundation’s biggest community event and fundraiser. For 2026, a Vintage Truck Raffle ticket will get free family admission all three days, all others will pay $2 (adult) or $5 (family) admission.
