Enjoy Parking over Thanksgiving Holiday and Small Business Saturday for No Charge
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — “The City will not charge for parking in Fayetteville’s two parking districts over the Thanksgiving Holiday and during Small Business Saturday,” said Mayor Lioneld Jordan. “City staff and I wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving and encourage shoppers to support small businesses over the holiday!”
There will be no charge for parking from Thursday, November 26 through Saturday, November 28, in City parking lots or in on-street parking spaces within the Dickson Street Entertainment District and the Downtown Square Business District. City officials ask drivers to be mindful of spaces reserved for Lights of the Ozarks vendors on the Square or in marked residential parking spaces throughout the districts.
Paid parking will be reinstated at 2 p.m. in the Dickson Street district on Sunday, November 29 and at 8 a.m. on Monday, November 30, in the Square district.
