GET FREE PARKING EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT IN DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO 🚗

If you’ve ever circled downtown looking for parking (we’ve all been there), this is your sign to plan your next night out on a Tuesday, because you can score a spot for free!

WHAT’S INCLUDED

🚗  Free garage parking, surface lots and street meters from 5pm to 2am every Tuesday! 

 🅿️ It includes popular garages like City Tower Garage, St. Mary’s Garage, Houston Street Garage, Central Library Garage and the Convention Center Garage

 🪧 Basically, if it’s city-run, you’re good to go. So big shout out to the city of San Antonio! 

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE 

⚠️ Not all parking is included: Private lots (especially near the River Walk) still charge

🎭 Show nights = one exception: Majestic Theatre events may block free parking at the Houston Street Garage

🏟️ Big venues excluded: Alamodome is not part of the program

PRO TIP

Meters are already free after 6PM most days and all day Sunday… but Tuesdays are the only night where everything city-owned is fair game. So plan smarter, park easier, and make Tuesday your new downtown night  for grabbing dinner, hitting happy hour, or finally checking out that spot you’ve been saving.
