Parking
Thanksgiving is a City of Evanston parking holiday. In addition, through January 2, the city will provide local businesses with 2-hour free parking vouchers to distribute to customers to encourage community members to shop local this holiday season. Each voucher card contains a unique code which customers can enter into the Park Evanston mobile app to receive a credit for two hours of free parking. Vouchers do not have to be used on the day of receipt, but must be redeemed by January 2. Vouchers will not allow for parking within a parking garage. This applies for metered on-street or surface lot parking only.
