BIG Truck Day at FASNY Museum

The FASNY Museum of Firefighting in Hudson is scheduled to hold BIG Truck Day on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon, offering a free outdoor event built around large vehicles and hands-on activities. The museum says children and families will be able to see a school bus, fire trucks, utility trucks and other vehicles at the site on Harry Howard Avenue. Free admission to the museum will also be offered to people attending the event, according to the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce listing and other local calendar postings. Reservations are not required. ### What is happening at the museum on June 6? Saturday’s event is billed as BIG Truck Day, a two-hour program at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting, the museum and local event listings say. The program is set for 10 a.m. to noon at 117 Harry Howard Ave. in Hudson. The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce listing says visitors can “learn all about big trucks” and sit in truck cabs. The same listing says a school bus, fire trucks, utility trucks and additional vehicles are expected to be on site for the day. ### Which vehicles and activities have been listed? A school bus, fire trucks and utility trucks are specifically named in the chamber calendar entry for the event. The listing also says there will be “many more vehicles” at the museum. The chamber posting says attendees who finish the truck tour can try a prize-punch game and meet Otto, described in the listing as a talking robot car focused on safety. All activities are planned outdoors, with tents to be used if it rains. ### Is there an admission charge or a reservation requirement? Free admission is one of the main details repeated across the event listings. The chamber calendar says all activities are free and that museum admission will also be free for people attending the event. Reservations are not required, according to the same listing. That distinguishes the June 6 program from ticketed museum visits or timed-entry events that sometimes require advance planning. ### Where is the FASNY Museum, and what is it normally like to visit? The FASNY Museum of Firefighting is at 117 Harry Howard Ave. in Hudson, according to the museum’s website. The museum describes itself as an interactive firefighting museum with hands-on exhibits and a large collection of firefighting equipment, apparatus, artwork and artifacts. The museum website says its regular hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Standard admission listed on the site is $15 for adults and $10 for children ages 2 to 17, while children under 2 and members are admitted free. For BIG Truck Day, the chamber listing says that admission charge is waived for attendees. ### What should families know before they go? The June 6 event is scheduled for the morning, running from 10 a.m. until noon. The museum and chamber listings place it outdoors, which means visitors should expect an open-air setup, with tents available if weather becomes an issue. Hudson Valley event calendars describe the program as hands-on and family-focused. The museum’s own website says it regularly offers free community events and promotes interactive exhibits for children and families. ### Where can people confirm the details? The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce calendar includes the date, time, address, admission details and a contact reference for Museum Educator Kathy Slade. The museum’s website also lists its address, regular hours and visitor information. Saturday, June 6, 2026, is the scheduled date for BIG Truck Day, and the event is set to begin at 10 a.m. at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting in Hudson. The museum’s website and local event calendars list the same Harry Howard Avenue location, with free admission for attendees and no reservation requirement.
