Big Honking Truck Parade

The fun kicks off with a truck parade up Nicollet Mall from Grant Street to 6th Street —then the big rigs park so families can get an up-close look, snap some photos, and explore these mighty machines up close.

The parade coincides with Mich’s Makers’ Market, where more than 30 vendors will set up shop from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. It’ll include a variety of local businesses, including four flavors of ice cream made for the occasion from The Lofton Hotel.
