Who says there’s no such thing as free parking? Flying in the face of Long Beach’s parking tsar, who has more than once been quoted saying exactly that, Belmont Shore businesses are offering free parking on Saturday. 

Local business wireless providers are offering free parking on Second Street in Belmont Shore for the day.  The meters on East Second Street will be bagged from 10 a.m. to  7 p.m. 

The event is also a celebration of the first year anniversary for The Verizon Wireless/FiOS store in Belmont Shore at 5030 E. Second St., St., owned by Long Beach resident Alan Brawer of Wireless Providers Inc. The store is offering giveaways, food and beverages throughout the day.

“The Belmont Shore Business Association appreciates the support of our local business Wireless Providers and Verizon Fios. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come out to the Shore and discover all the fantastic businesses that make up our vibrant business district,” said Brawer.

Belmont Shore is home to over 250 businesses. The Belmont Shore Business Association often hosts events on and around popular Second Street. Upcoming events include the Belmont Shore Art Walk on Oct. 23, Trick or Treat on Second Street on Oct. 31 and the 28th annual Belmont Shore Christmas Parade on Dec. 4.
