If you drive, remember that the Downtown parking meters are FREE on weekdays after 6 pm, and FREE all day on weekends. However, do not leave your car at a metered parking space from 2 to 5 am. If you do, you might get a ticket.
You can also park for FREE in any City parking lot after 5 pm weekdays and all day on weekends. The City lots are located on E. 2nd Ave. and at the Transit Center. You can leave your car overnight in these lots, but if it is a weekday you need to remove your car by 7 am the next morning.
There will be a large street closure for the Snowdown Light Parade. Look for signs on parking meters on Friday January 31 as you will be towed if you park in a closed space.
