Continuing an annual holiday tradition, the City of Sacramento will again make parking on street, metered parking free through Dec. 25 on evenings and weekends in the Downtown, Midtown and Old Sac neighborhoods.

On weekdays, parking will be fee-free starting at 4:30 p.m., and all day on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, the city's 4,000 new meters won't even accept your money during the free times. When's the last time the government refused to take your money?

Generally, the free parking zone will extend from Front Street on the western edge, 29th Street on the eastern edge, between I and L streets. See the map above for the exact boundaries of the free parking zone.
