A “Dome of our Own” turns 40 in April 2023, and in celebration, Tacoma Venues & Events invites the community to join us on April 28 and 29. T-Town: Play. Explore. Learn. – City Services Expo is a free, family-friendly community event at the Tacoma Dome. The event is a unique, hands-on experience for the community to engage with City of Tacoma departments, celebrate the Tacoma Dome’s birthday, and learn about career and trade opportunities with the new Work element added to this year’s T-Town.

Departments from the City of Tacoma and Tacoma Public Utilities will provide interactive experiences, including an opportunity to Touch A Truck with vehicles from Environmental Services, Tacoma Police Department, Tacoma Fire Department, Public Works, Tacoma Water, Rail and Power, and many more. Activities also include backstage tours, live demonstrations, job opportunities, and more. Tacoma Rainiers’ mascot Rhubarb the Reindeer will make a special appearance on Saturday at 11am.
