In the beginning, Park City was a rough and tumble silver mining boom town. The mines came and went but a raucous bunch of folks stayed on to ski and carouse. From those rowdy beginnings sprang bodacious boutiques and artsy stuff. Seriously good restaurants and a string of spirited watering holes. Come to think of it, Historic Park City today is still a lot like it was back in the 1890’s – only now with cushier lodgings and much better coffee.

In the spirit of the holidays, all metered parking will be free on Main Street beginning the Friday after Thanksgiving and running through December 16, 2011. The Historic Park City Alliance (HPCA), along with the Park City Municipal Corporation, is spearheading the free parking offer. Additionally, a full schedule of holiday events and activities will take place in the Historic District throughout December to celebrate the festive winter season.

“As a thank you to locals and visitors for their support over the year, we’d like to give a nice holiday gift to the community,” said Alison Butz, Executive Director of HPCA. “Free parking will help save people a few minutes and make their holiday to-do list a little easier to tackle.”
