Mayor Greg Verga is pleased to announce that beginning Thursday, November 27, 2025, the City of Gloucester will offer free 2-hour parking on Main Street in Zone 6 and Zone 2 through Wednesday, December 31, 2025. The initiative is designed to encourage visitors and residents alike to shop, dine and stroll the downtown corridor during the holidays, while supporting our local businesses and fostering a vibrant community environment.
Why This Matters
This free-parking offer is part of the City’s broader holiday activation plan: by reducing the barrier to access downtown, the City is supporting Main Street-area merchants, restaurants and galleries and encouraging foot traffic in the heart of Gloucester. At the same time, the enforcement of the two-hour limit protects turnover, ensuring that parking remains accessible through the busy season.
“We want everyone to enjoy the spirit of the season and support our downtown businesses. By offering free parking along Main Street and maintaining the two-hour limit, we strike the right balance between convenience for visitors and continuing turnover so our Main Street remains vibrant and accessible,” said Mayor Verga. “I encourage all of our residents and guests to plan their visits, register their plate and time, and enjoy a holiday season filled with local culture, shopping, and community.”
I love this idea! Maybe we’ll see you at one of the Serenitee in early December. Our favorite is Minglewood. What’s yours?
We’d like to wish fellow Merry Castaway Nichole the happiest of birthdays today. She’s a valuable friend, loving mother and extraordinary teacher/administrator as well as a memorable (yes, memorable) friend. Happy birthday!

While Joey and Chris and Donna were eating canned fish on Sunday I snuck out for brunch at the James in Essex. It was quiet when we first got there and was packed when we left. There was music and a great crowd….definitely a fun place to spend a few hours.
Stop by Minglewood on Rogers St this Sunday and browse some fun vendors in the Captain Courageous Room. Pat D’s Photos will be there! Stop by and say hello.
Good Morning Gloucester
