This includes on-street parking, municipal parking lots, the King Street Parking Garage and the Simcoe Parking Garage. The free parking program runs until New Year’s Eve.

Parking fees voluntarily paid at pay-and-display machines, meters or through the HotSpot App during the free two-hour period will be donated to Kawartha Food Share.

Wolfe Personal Injury Lawyers has sponsored the holiday parking program.

“It’s more important than ever to support and shop local. Wolfe Lawyers will continue to invest in local opportunities which give back to the citizens of our great community,” said Bill Wolfe of Wolfe Lawyers. “Wolfe Lawyers proudly sponsor ‘the gift of parking’ to let you enjoy our many great stores and restaurants during the holiday season, and we encourage people to support Kawartha Food Share with some form of donation to help those in need in our community.”

“Supporting local businesses is crucial, especially during the holidays, and this initiative allows residents to explore and shop locally without worrying about parking fees. We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to discover the unique offerings in the heart of Peterborough and make this season a local one,” said Town Ward Councillors Joy Lachica and Alex Bierk in a joint statement.

“We want to thank Wolfe Personal Injury Lawyers and our partners at the City of Peterborough for offering this free holiday parking program. This initiative makes it even easier for visitors and locals to shop, dine and explore our downtown during an important time of year for our downtown businesses” said Nour Mazloum, Peterborough DBIA executive director. “We encourage everyone to celebrate the season by enjoying all that downtown Peterborough has to offer.”

Anyone requiring more time is asked to park in the City’s surface lots or parking garages.
