FCL Hard Hat Expo

Join us at the FCL Hard Hat Expo! This family-friendly event offers hands-on learning at Exhibitor Booths about the incredible opportunities and advancements in the construction industry.

Who Should Attend: All ages welcome

Date/Time: October 3rd, 2026 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Where: 10108 Riverford Rd, Lakeside, CA 92040

Cost: Free to all attendees

What to Expect: Four incredible zones to explore.

• Construction Zone: Watch an actual project under construction! This year, Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Future Construction Leaders Campers are partnering to build beds for local children right at the FCL Hard Hat Expo — and we'd love your help making those beds feel like home.

  We're collecting new twin-size blankets and/or sheet sets to send home with every child who receives a bed that day. It's a small gesture that makes a huge difference to a kid who's never had one.

• Robotics Zone: Local robotics teams demonstrating building and driving of robots.

• Drone Zone: Learn about drones and how they are used on construction job sites.

• Kids Zone: Block building, face painting, and photo booth.
