San Francisco meters holidays

Even parking tickets get a day off now and then. On all of the following holidays shown, Enforcement does not issue parking tickets for hour limits in residential permit areas, M-F daytime street sweeping, or tow cars in commuter tow-away zones.

The Table below shows holiday enforcement by holiday.

Except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, most on-street parking meters are enforced Monday through Saturday.

On Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Eve Enforcement does not issue citations for nighttime street sweeping.

The day after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year begins at midnight. So, DPW’s street sweeping crews are out and Enforcement issues citations for street sweeping violations.

Daily (7-day) street-sweeping parking restrictions, such as on Market Street, are enforced every day of the year, except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.

Sunday meter operation and enforcement applies for Fisherman’s Wharf area, The Embarcadero, five (5) off-street parking lots and in the Special Event Area around AT&T Park during special events.
