Park Free Downtown on Small Business Saturday Weekend!

American Express and Patch are sponsoring the free parking at 250 metered spaces.

Come ring in the holiday season in Downtown Athens!

On Friday and Saturday, November 28th and 29th, there will be free parking in the downtown parking garages on College and Washington, so shake off that post-T-day stupor and head on down. On Saturday, you'll also be able to enjoy free parking in 250 metered spaces on Clayton and Broad and College and Lumpkin in that block. 

On Saturday, November 30, parking in 250 metered spaces on both Clayton and Broad streets – and the cross streets between – in Downtown Athens will be free. As part of its Small Business Saturday program, American Express - along with local news site Patch.com - will be sponsoring free parking. This initiative is intended to support small businesses in local communities like our own.
