The City of Kelowna is once again offering Christmas shoppers the opportunity to park for free downtown every Saturday during December.

It's the 26th year the city has offered free on-street parking throughout the month.

While holiday shoppers don't have to plug the meter, you are reminded posted time limits do remain in effect.

All other parking restrictions, including designated accessible, permits stalls, yellow curbs, loading zones and designated pick-up stalls remain in effect.

The yearly initiative, which supports downtown businesses, costs the city more than $20,000 in on-street parking revenue.
