Unfortunately, COVID-19 means the park will be much quieter this year.Â
The city has canceled the signature events, which happen to be the last major events the city held last year before the pandemic arrived, but officials havenât given up on keeping their spirit alive.Â
For instance, instead of kids coming to Central Park to visit the scores of trucks and vehicles, the city will be bringing the trucks to them.
The Untouchable Truck Parade will hit the streets of downtown Largo beginning 11 a.m. Saturday, March 13.
Families can line up to check out various vehicles along the parade route, which is south of Ulmer Park. It runs along the streets of First Avenue Southwest, Fourth Street Southwest, Seventh Avenue Southwest, and Second Street Southwest. As of March 8, 37 vehicles were slated to participate.
