Something for free . . .

Shoppers in downtown and midtown Sacramento will once again enjoy free street parking during the holiday season as part of the City of Sacramento’s Holiday On-Street Parking Program.

Designed to encourage holiday shoppers to patronize downtown and midtown businesses, the program will be in effect during the Thanksgiving holiday, Saturday, November 25, and Sunday, November 26. The program will resume during the Christmas holiday period beginning Friday, December 15, through Monday, December 25.

During these periods, street parking will be free starting at 3:00 p.m. weekdays and all day on Saturdays. Sundays are always free downtown.

The free parking zone will extend from ”I” to “L” Streets and from 3rd to 29th Streets.

All parking meters are included and the program applies to metered spaces only, not to off-street parking lots.
