Cobourg, ON (November 1, 2024) – The Town of Cobourg and the Cobourg Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) are pleased to be offering an hour of free parking for those shopping downtown, in effect from today (November 1) until December 31, 2024.

At the Regular Council Meeting on October 23, 2024, Municipal Council approved to extend the one-hour of free parking to include the month of November this year. The free hour of parking within any downtown metered streets or municipal parking lots is to encourage residents and visitors to shop and support downtown businesses.

"On behalf of the Town of Cobourg and the DBIA we are pleased to be providing one hour of free paid parking for both November and December this year," said Mayor Lucas Cleveland. "We encourage our residents and visitors to shop and support our local businesses. Enjoy the holidays, shop locally and have a wonderful downtown experience."

Downtown street meters are $2.25/hour and any expired meters will be given a one-hour grace period by the Town of Cobourg's Municipal Law Enforcement Officers. Vehicles parked longer than the one-hour grace period will be subject to parking tickets.

Mayor Lucas Cleveland, Town Council and the Cobourg DBIA encourage everyone to take advantage of this offer to support the local business economy.
