The Mayor has announced that two hours of free parking will be available at meters in designated commercial districts around Providence starting today. The two-hour free holiday parking program begins on Small Business Saturday and runs through Wednesday, January 1. The holiday parking program is designed to make it easier for shoppers to visit local businesses. While parking meter violations will not be issued during free two-hour parking in the specified districts, two-hour parking limits will be enforced to allow all residents to take advantage of the campaign.
Those designated commercial districts include downtown, College Hill, Federal Hill, the State House and Train Station, Wayland Square, Olneyville Square, and more. Click here for the specific streets and boundaries.
Don’t forget: The City Hall Tree lighting ceremony will be held on Friday, December 6 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.
