Did someone say, “Free parking?”

The holidays are right around the corner. As you’re checking your list and shopping for gifts in the Short North Arts District, the last thing you want to think about is where to park.

With 8,900+ parking spaces in the area, parking has never been easier.

And, we’ll let you in on a secret: Visitors can park in one of four Short North Arts District garages and enjoy their first hour free with garage validations.

Here’s how it works:

• Park in one of the four participating garages from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Shop at any 80+ participating businesses. Look for the free parking signs in the windows as you shop
• Get a garage validation sticker from the business with a purchase.
• Use your garage validation sticker when leaving the garage to enjoy a free hour of parking. Validations will be accepted at any exit time as long as the first hour of parking is completed before 5 pm.

Vroom, vroom.
