Free parking offered in downtown for the holidays

870

Free parking will be offered during the holiday season at the Downtown Marina parking lot beginning Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Day.

In addition, City Council approved a Holiday Magic Parking Program at its Nov. 12 meeting that allows two free hours of parking (one time) at any City lot or on metered streets during the same time period, Thanksgiving through New Year’s.

Residents can get the one-time free parking for the holidays in one of two ways:

Cut out a free parking voucher from the Island News, beginning the week of Thanksgiving, or in the City’s December newsletter, which should be sent out just before Thanksgiving. Redeem the voucher for 2 one-hour tokens at the Park Beaufort office, 500 Carteret St. The office is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Or, customers can use the ParkMobile app (download from your app store). Select the option “apply promotional code” at checkout, and then enter BFTMagic to receive your two free hours.

“We feel this program will go a long way to bring shoppers to our unique shops and restaurants during our holiday season,” said Downtown Operations Director Linda Roper.

Remember: ‘Tis the season to Shop Local and patronize the wide array of shops and restaurants in downtown Beaufort.

And it’s much easier with free parking for the holidays.
