The City of Penticton will provide free on-street parking downtown on Fridays and Saturdays for five weekends beginning Nov. 28, 2025, to encourage shopping local. Also, parking on Sundays is always free.
Parking is limited to two free hours, to ensure spaces open up at regular intervals, and only applies to on-street parking pay stations and metered stalls. City parking lots and private parking lots are not included. Regular on-street parking rates will resume on Monday, Dec. 29, 2025.
This initiative was approved by City Council, at an estimated cost of up to $2,500 per day in lost revenue, to support our downtown business community, which plays a vital role in enhancing the vibrancy and vitality of our city. The total estimated cost in lost revenue to the City for this initiative is roughly $25,000.
