Another week ➡️ another parking myth busted.

Myth: Parking garages are only for downtown employees.🚫

Fact: Parking garages are available for customers, visitors, residents, and employees! They are also free for the first two hours on weekdays (and parking is not enforced in the evenings or on weekends). This makes the garages a convenient option for quick downtown trips and for visits longer than two hours when someone does not need a curbside space right in front of their destination.🅿️🚙

Come on downtown! Destination Downtown Great Falls hosts more than 30 events every year.🤩 Check out upcoming events: https://exploredowntowngf.com/event-directory/
