Free Parking In Bay Shore For Holidays Starting This Weekend

BAY SHORE, NY - Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter has announced that parking will be free in all of Bay Shore’s parking lots beginning this weekend.

The free parking will be available during the holiday season between Saturday, November 24 and New Year’s Day, Tuesday, January 1, 2019.

The initiative will kick-off on Saturday in conjunction with “Small Business Saturday,” and will apply to all metered parking in Bay Shore, including the back lots.

“Small Business Saturday” is a national movement reminding all to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost local economies and help preserve local downtowns.

“I encourage everyone to shop your local small business this Saturday, November 24th, and to continue to ‘shop small’ throughout the holiday season and New Year,” Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter said. “Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, accounting for nearly 50 percent of all employees in the private sector, and are instrumental in capturing the unique charm and service that define the downtown shopping experience.”

Last year a reported 43 percent of American adult shoppers joined the cause nationwide.
