Assist the children and guests at our 3rd Annual Big Truck Day
About this Event

Strap on your seatbelt and head over to Randall’s Island Park for our free, annual Big Truck Day celebration!

Get a close-up view of the large vehicles that keep New York City clean and safe. Learn how garbage truck drivers, police officers, farmers, and other big truck operators use these vehicles to drive our city forward. Visit each truck and learn from the operators themselves about how they use their truck every day. You might have the chance to sit in the front seat and pose for a photo!

Last year we had trucks from the FDNY, NYPD, NYC Parks, and many others! There will also be story time, snacks, games, and other truck-related activities.

Volunteers will assist with festival activities, welcome table, line monitoring, give aways, set up and break down.

We will need a few volunteers to work slightly different shifts:
2 volunteers from 10am to 1:30pm to assist setting up the event

8 volunteers to assist at the event from 11:30am to 3:30pm

2 Urban Farm experienced volunteers to help keep the farm open hours while Grow NYC hosts a seedling give away outside the gates.
