Behind the Scenes at Nuit Blanche Winnipeg 2025: TruckBud's Delivery to The Forks

Every year, Nuit Blanche Winnipeg transforms the city into an outdoor gallery, and nowhere is that transformation felt more deeply than at The Forks Winnipeg — one of the city's most beloved cultural landmarks. It's where history, creativity, and community meet. It's where Winnipeggers gather. And in 2025, it became the backdrop for a moment that reminded us why TruckBud exists.

Just hours before the festival, the creative teams at SoBasically and OVALAB needed to transport an 8-foot cube installation to The Forks. The piece was large, delicate, and essential to the experience planned for the night. The window was small. The stakes were high. And there was no backup plan.

Through the Truckbud platform, the request was placed and matched with the appropriate vehicle type selected by the customer, whether that's a pickup truck, cargo van, or box truck. And in situations where an item requires extra care or unique handling, our team steps in to ensure the delivery is paired with the right vehicle and support. The goal is simple: make booking straightforward for customers, while making sure every delivery is handled safely and correctly.

The installation arrived safely and on time, ready to be revealed to thousands of visitors flooding The Forks for one of Winnipeg's most celebrated nights. It was a delivery that wasn't just about logistics, it was about supporting an experience that mattered to the city.

And for us, it meant something deeper.

Winnipeg is a city-community built on helping each other when it matters, and at TruckBud, our work is an extension of that belief. When a partner reaches out in a moment of need, especially when the success of a public event, a creative vision, or a community experience depends on it, our responsibility is simple: find a way.

For us, this wasn't just a delivery.

It was a reminder of why TruckBud exists.

We're here for the moments that matter to the people around us.

For the artists, organizers, small businesses, families, and neighbours who need someone dependable in their corner.

For the requests that come with urgency, pressure, or no backup plan.

For the opportunities where stepping up means strengthening the fabric of our community.

Every day, we move items across the city.

But moments like this move us.

Supporting this installation at The Forks was more than a task, it was a privilege. It reinforced our commitment to the spaces, creators, and communities that define Winnipeg.
