Free Parking In Downtown Pensacola Through December 26

December 20, 2021

Fees for city-owned street parking in downtown Pensacola are waived through December 26 during Parking Amnesty Week, allowing downtown visitors to shop, dine, and enjoy the holiday lights and attractions without paying for parking.

The free parking applies only to city-owned on-street parking, identified by teal blue ‘PARKPensacola’ signage. The free parking excludes parking lots, garages and privately managed parking spaces.

“Parking is a self-funded public enterprise that isn’t paid by taxpayers but is paid only by those who use the service,” said Parking Manager Lissa Dees. “Offering a free week of parking gives the city an opportunity to support small businesses downtown while giving a little something back to our community in the process.

Free or 2-hour parking is available throughout downtown Pensacola, and city-owned parking is always free on Sunday. In addition to Parking Amnesty Week, free parking is available daily at the following locations:

Community Maritime Park
Bayfront parkway – surface lot
Belmont-DeVilliers – surface lot
South Palafox Marina – surface lot

    More people , would come to downtown Pensacola if the parking situation was not a nightmare. This in turn would provide more tax revenue, investment, and keep Pensacola in the Horizon, of great places to visit, live in , and and for all Escambia county citizens to enjoy.

    IF indeed the City was needing the money from parking they would not be paying a group to scalp residents and charge the city.
