Free Holiday Parking Program

During the holiday season, the City of Sacramento will offer free metered parking on weekdays after 4:30 p.m. and all-day on weekends starting from Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day in Midtown and Old Sacramento. Free meter parking zones include Front Street to the west, I Street to the north, 29th Street to the east, and L Street or Capitol Avenue to the south. This program will only apply to metered on-street parking spaces. All other parking violations such as street cleaning, time zones and color zones are still enforceable as posted.

Throughout the year, free metered parking is also offered on specific holidays. Please check the meter screen when you park to know when payment is required and when it is free.
