The City of Annapolis is offering two hours of free parking as an incentive to use ParkMobile for Maryland Day festivities. Residents and visitors who enter the code “ParkDTA” on the ParkMobile smartphone app will receive two hours free beginning at 10 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2020. ParkMobile also offers a toll-free number for those who don’t use a smartphone. The toll-free number 877-727-5758 (or 877 PARK 758) is posted on meters and signage.

“Come downtown to celebrate Maryland Day!” said Mayor Gavin Buckley. “There are a number of events including museum entry, walking tours, children’s activities. It is going to be a great day.”

Maryland Day activities can be found at the website: www.marylandday.org.

In order to get the most out of the ParkMobile smartphone app, know before you go! The City offers these tips:

Download the ParkMobile app onto your smartphone before you make your trip downtown (ideally from a wifi hotspot).

Set up your ParkMobile account on your desktop or smartphone. Account details include name, address, make and model of your vehicle(s), tag number(s), and credit card account information (you will not be charged at setup or with free parking promotions).

When you park at a downtown meter, get the zone code off the meter or allow location-enabled services on your phone to auto-input the zone code.

Select the amount of time (maximum is two hours free).

On the final screen, input the promo code “ParkDTA” to get your two hours of free parking.

Parking meters in the City that will accept the ParkMobile “ParkDTA” code include meters in downtown and inner West Street neighborhoods.

The ParkMobile smartphone app is currently used approximately 12,500 times per month in Annapolis and can be used in hundreds of cities in the US and Canada, including Washington, DC, and Maryland cities like Chevy Chase, Bethesda, College Park, Adelphi and Ocean City. It is also available for parking at popular locations like Nats Stadium.

The City’s biggest parade of the year – the Annapolis St. Patrick’s Parade – will take place on Sunday, March 8 beginning at 1 p.m. starting at West Street at Amos Garrett Blvd. The parade includes more than 100 entrants and is expected to draw up to 15,000 people to Annapolis.

For complete parade details, visit www.naptownevents.com. The best choice is to park at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium at 550 Taylor Avenue. Naptown Events will sponsor shuttles from the stadium to the parade staging area (near Maryland Hall) for parade participants and to the downtown area for parade watchers.

Arrive early, as streets along the parade route will close before 1 p.m. and are expected to remain closed until the parade is finished, at approximately 3 p.m.

The parade begins near Park Place, with participants lining up along Amos Garrett Blvd. From there, the parade will travel down West Street to Church Circle, go around the circle to Main Street, continue down Main Street, and end at City Dock.

The City of Annapolis is offering two hours of free parking as an incentive to use ParkMobile on ❤ Valentine’s Day ❤.

“This is a chance for people to shop for Valentine’s Day gifts, or to take their special someone out for a meal and incentivize them to come downtown,” said Acting Mayor Rhonda Pindell-Charles. “It is also a way for us to encourage people to get used to the smartphone parking app in downtown.”

The City is also using February 14 as a way to continue its successful holiday social media campaign: #LoveAnnapolis, #ShopAnnapolis, by encouraging residents and visitors to the City to use those hashtags when shopping or dining in Annapolis.

The City of Annapolis reminds residents who live in zoned parking districts that legacy temporary parking permits – those purchased prior to July 1st, 2019 – are no longer valid, according to a City Ordinance O-4-19. Vehicles using these legacy temporary permits will be issued a citation.

Ordinance O-4-19, enacted by the City Council on April 29, 2019, applies expiration dates to temporary parking permits issued on or after July 1, 2019. Under the ordinance, a maximum of 10 single-day permits may be purchased each month by residents of the residential parking districts in which they reside, and those permits expire at the end of each month.

Legacy temporary parking permits issued before July 1, 2019 are no longer valid effective January 1, 2020. Residents who still have legacy permits may receive credit for their value by visiting the office of Annapolis Parking (SP+), the city’s parking management firm at 60 West Street, Suite 106. Annapolis Parking is open for service between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Residents with questions may contact Annapolis Parking at (443) 648-3087 or annapolisparking@spplus.com.

Residents may apply for and purchase temporary parking permits at Annapolis Parking’s Temporary Parking Permits page.

Mayor Gavin Buckley welcomes members of the Maryland General Assembly, their staff, and visitors back to Annapolis for the 2020 legislative session starting Wednesday, January 8th. The City and Annapolis Parking offer the following tips for convenient parking downtown.

Skip the Crowds: Visitors can avoid the city’s busiest parking locations by parking at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium lot or Park Place Garage located at One Park Place on West Street. Park Place is serviced daily by the free Circulator. The stadium lot is serviced by the State Shuttle route ($2 fare), with a regular schedule from 6:30 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The service frequency is every 20 minutes. During the legislative period, an additional state bus is added during the peak periods, from 7:00 am to 10:30 am, and 3:30 pm to 5:15 pm. Also, during the legislative session, extended state shuttle service is provided on Mondays only until 10:00 pm.

Reserve Garage Parking Online: Visitors can purchase garage parking online at Noah Hillman Garage, Knighton Garage, or Gott’s Court Garage. Simply visit www.annapolisparking.com, navigate to the garage of your choice, and select “Buy Daily Parking.”

Avoid New Fines for Parking Violations: To improve pedestrian safety and parking availability, the City of Annapolis increased fines for certain parking violations in 2019, including parking at a red-lined curb or fire hydrant, parking at a metered space for more than two hours between 10 am and 7:30 pm, and parking in a space reserved for persons with disabilities.

Parking in garages and observing on-street parking regulations is the best way to avoid parking fines. For a detailed list of the new parking fine schedule, visit Annapolis Parking’s New Parking Fines page.

Invest in Monthly Parking: For guaranteed parking, visitors can purchase monthly parking passes for Gott’s Court Garage located at 25 Northwest Street. Contact Annapolis Parking at annapolisparking@spplus.com or (443) 648-3087 for rates and details.

Ride the free Circulator: The free Circulator includes stops to benefit session visitors. The School Street-Church Circle stop near the State House complex provides faster and more convenient service back to the three garages on West Street (Gott’s Court, Knighton, and Park Place.) The State Garage stop at 19 St. John’s Street is designed to encourage visitors to take advantage of State Garage’s free public parking Monday-Friday 6 pm to 6 am and all weekend. The North Street-State Circle stop allows visitors easy access to the State House and other state government buildings. Visitors can track the Circulator’s location in real-time by downloading the “RLS Shuttle” app to their smartphone and clicking “Annapolis,” or visiting the mobile-friendly website www.annapolisparking.com/circulator-alternative-transportation/.

Park Free: Park free at on-street meters after 7:30 pm on weeknights and at Calvert Street Garage (aka State Garage) at 19 St. John’s Street Monday-Friday 6 pm to 6 am and on weekends.

Find All Parking Options Online: There are plenty of parking options available to those visiting Annapolis. Visitors can explore these options at www.AnnapolisParking.com, a mobile-friendly website featuring maps, rates, contact information, and additional details about the garages, surface lots, on-street parking, and Circulator services available to the public.

A Miracle on Annapolis Street, featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales, food trucks, vendors, games, activities and more for adults and children will be Thursday, Dec. 26 in West Annapolis from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Location: West Annapolis is just a few blocks from historic Downtown Annapolis, across Rowe Boulevard from Navy-Marine Corps Stadium.

Parking: There is free public on-street parking in West Annapolis but it fills up fast. Consider the options listed below. The free Circulator will shuttle passengers from the city garages to the festivities. Track the Circulator’s location in real-time by downloading the RLS Shuttle app to your phone and clicking Annapolis.

While at the festival, take the opportunity to visit West Annapolis shops such as Wrabyn, Tara’s Gifts, One Petticoat Lane, Art Things, The Crabby Quilter, West Annapolis Artworks & Fine Framing and Bon Vivant Antiques and Period Furnishings. There will be ample food at the event as well as at Rutabaga Craft Juicery, Bean Rush Café and Evelyn’s Annapolis on Annapolis Street.

There are many ways to enjoy downtown Annapolis this holiday season, from Midnight Madness and Grand Illumination to the Parade of Lights. We want visitors to know there are a number of convenient parking options available, including several ways to park entirely free downtown this holiday season — five to be exact.

As in previous years, visitors can park free for three hours, seven days a week at downtown meters starting Nov. 29 through New Year’s Eve. The only difference for 2019 is that visitors secure those three hours via the free ParkMobile app, available on Apple and Google Play, using code ParkDTA.

Residents and visitors to Annapolis already use ParkMobile at downtown meters about 12,500 times each month. ParkMobile is used by more than 13 million people in North America, including Baltimore, Washington, Bethany Beach, Ocean City and Towson.

By shifting holiday three-hours free parking to an app-based program, Annapolis is preparing for a “mobile-first” future when parking meters won’t clutter the historic downtown landscape. It also prevents the damage that meters incurred in prior years when they were bagged, which made them inoperable and in need of repair or replacement. The app also allows Annapolis to easily offer parking promotions any time of year.

The key is to “know before you go” downtown. Download ParkMobile to your Apple or Android phone before you plan your downtown visit.

Next, set up an account by entering a username and password, vehicle information, and payment information. A credit card is required to establish an account, but no charge is incurred. Once parked at a meter, enter the parking zone code on the green sticker on your meter, or let ParkMobile enter your location automatically, then enter the code ParkDTA for three hours of free parking. Alternatively, call 877-727-5758 and provide the ParkDTA code.

Additional free parking options are available year-round. Here are a few.
