The Big Honking Truck Parade is Tomorrow

Bring your friends and family to Nicollet Mall July 31 for the first-ever Big Honking Truck Parade. The parade features City of Minneapolis cars, fire engines, snowplows, and police and fire trucks, plus construction vehicles, semitrailers and more from local businesses and operators.

The municipal motorcade starts around 5:30 p.m. at East Grant Street, travels down Nicollet Mall and ends at Sixth Street South. The vehicles will hold still for your pictures at the end of the route until 8 p.m.

From 4 to 8 p.m., Nicollet Mall will host more than 30 local businesses for an evening market. Shop local, find homemade wares and grab food – including special flavors of homemade ice cream – from Twin Cities-based booths.
