Your guide to easy parking and exploring Downtown Chico.

10/20/2026

The seasons are changing, but we’re not going anywhere!

We’re so excited to share that Park & Go has officially been extended through the end of the year, which means two free hours of parking in six Downtown Chico public lots will continue through December!

What started as an invitation to spend a little more time downtown this summer now gets to carry us through some of our favorite months of the year. Crisp fall afternoons, holiday shopping, coffee dates, dinners with friends, festive nights downtown, and all those little stops in between.

Most importantly, it’s more time to show up for the local businesses and people who make Downtown Chico the place we all know and love.

So keep coming downtown. Keep finding new favorites. Keep visiting the old ones. And keep making a little extra time to wander.

We’ll see you downtown through the end of the year!

You asked, and engineering answered!

Here's your play by play on how to use the Passport Parking app 🅿️

Remember, two hours of free parking is available through September in participating downtown public lots. Check in using the Passport Parking app or at the kiosk.

We hope to see you downtown soon to enjoy your two free hours and all that downtown has to offer 💛

Enjoy, friend 😀

Not every great day downtown ends the same way. Sometimes it starts with a morning coffee, sometimes it’s a refreshing juice in the afternoon, and sometimes it ends with a drink shared with friends.

These are a few of the places we’ve stopped to sip so far this summer, each one adding something different to a day spent exploring Downtown Chico. Whether you’re grabbing your go-to order or trying somewhere new, every stop is another chance to slow down, connect, and support the businesses that make our downtown so special.

The next time you’re heading downtown, take advantage of two free hours in any of our six public parking lots and find your new favorite beverage downtown!

Two free hours in Downtown Chico public parking lots available Monday–Friday through September.

If you’ve been meaning to spend a day downtown, consider this your sign ⚠️

We’ve been making our way through some of our favorite shops this summer, popping in, taking our time, and finding those little things that make each place feel special. From long-time staples to newer stops, every visit is a chance to connect with the people behind the storefronts and be part of what keeps Downtown Chico moving.

Summer's not quite over yet and we're not quite done showing you are favorite places to Park and Go 🏃‍♂️

We know... downloading a new app isn't exactly anyone's idea of a fun afternoon. 😅

The good news? You only have to set it up once.

This guide walks you through the process from downloading the app to starting your free parking session. Once you're set up, checking in for your next visit only takes a few taps.

Save this guide for the next time you're headed downtown!

When the workday wraps up, there's still plenty of time to enjoy downtown.

This time, Councilmember Addison Winslow put Park & Go to the test.

Just claim your free two-hour parking session using the Passport Parking app or the kiosk in any participating public lot.

Shop. Eat. Sip. Stroll.

Park & Go is part of the Be Our Guest campaign, a partnership between the City of Chico and the PBID. The free two-hour parking program is currently scheduled to run through September.
