FREE PARKING

OMLF, together with other Shop Oakland supporters, 
implemented Free Parking on Saturdays.

The City of Oakland will offer free parking every Saturday between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, plus Plaid Friday which is November 29.

On the following days, parking at all City-metered spaces throughout Oakland will be free for the time period posted on the meter or kiosk (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or 5 hours):

Friday, November 29 
Saturday, November 30 
Saturday, December 7 
Saturday, December 14 
Saturday, December 21 
Saturday, December 28

The free parking "holidays" apply to both standard meters and the multi-space parking kiosks located in many commercial districts.

Standard parking rules and time limits apply -- if shoppers need additional parking time, they will need to move their cars across the street if it is a two-way street, or park around the block if it is a one-way street. The City will be monitoring parked cars on a regular basis, including enforcing other violations (e.g., red, yellow, green and white zones as well as double parking).
