BIG TRUCK DAY still equals BIG FUN for kids (both big and small)! However, those attending the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Big Truck Day event on Saturday, May 22 will notice a few changes in the fun-filled annual event due to COVID-19.

We had to change Big Truck Day a little to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance, especially our little ones. However, I am proud to say that DPW’s Big Truck Day still offers the biggest display of big trucks in town,” said Acting DPW Director Jason W. Mitchell.

This immensely popular free community event features vehicles from the Baltimore City Departments of Public Works, General Services, Recreation and Parks, Police, and Fire.

Mayor Brandon Scott will join Acting Director Mitchell to close out Big Truck Day with a parade of trucks!

This event will strictly follow health and safety protocols. Masks are required and social distancing will be required.

  • Face masks must be worn throughout the event for children and adults ages 5 & up.
