Parking is FREE after 5pm and all weekend long, including city owned permit spaces and metered lots.

WEEKDAY PARKING RULES:

UP TO 2 HOUR FREE ON-STREET PARKING!

  • On-street parking: free every day for up to 2 hours. On your first parking session each day, the first 2 hours of that parking session is FREE between 8am-5pm.  If you park before 8am, none of that time is calculated into the 2 FREE hours.  To add additional time to an on-street parking experience OR if you come back later in the day (well after your first 2 Hours began), you’ll need to engage the parkmobile app of phone system to park on the street without getting a ticket. The 2 hours FREE is NOT cumulative. The clock begins from the time your car is first detected in an on street space and the free time expires 2 hours from that time, regardless of whether you use the full 2 hours.
  • Main Street Garage: Weekday public parking is located through the Cedar Street entrance and is $1 per hour from 8am-3pm. It’s free after 3pm. Main Street entrance is permit only 8am-5pm weekdays and free after 5pm and all day weekends.
