FIRE UP THOSE SIRENS!
Stop by the Downtown Market on Tuesday, July 23 from 11am to 2pm and Meet the Machines! We’ll have emergency vehicles, construction vehicles, and everything in between. Bring the kids by to see the machines up close, then head inside for a bite to eat from our Market Hall merchants.
This event is free to attend.
2024 vehicles include a stretch limo, Zamboni, fire truck from MLK Station, Grand Rapids police cruiser, 1937 Ford truck with calliope organ in the back, garbage truck, snow plow, ambulance, McDonald’s Mustang, 115-ton mobile crane, and a Green Ghost pulling semi-truck.
The iconic Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will also make a special appearance at the event, along with Freddy the Fire Truck, a fully animated fire truck robot who moves, speaks, listens, and sounds his siren. He can wink, blink, and move his eyes while enforcing the importance of fire safety!
