Minneapolis Moves: The Big Honking Truck Parade

The City of Minneapolis' cavalcade of wheels is coming to Nicollet Mall on July 31. The parade is a fun way to fill downtown Minneapolis with families of all ages as part of the City’s ongoing effort to bring renewed energy to the city center.

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

Starting at 4 p.m. on the Mall will be Mich’s Makers’ Market - a host of more than 30 local businesses for an evening market experience. Visitors can shop local, homemade wares and grab food from the various Twin Cities-based booths. The Lofton Hotel is even crafting four special flavors of homemade ice cream for the occasion, including “Street Sweeper S’mores” and “Ladder Up Lemon & Tangerine Sorbet.”
