PARKING > FIND YOUR SPACE

Parking is always a challenge in San Anselmo. Paid parking is now required on San Anselmo Avenue in the daytimes, however it is FREE after 6PM… but note that San Anselmo Avenue gets closed to traffic anyway on Fridays and Saturdays from June 20th to September 27th for Live On The Avenue, so that’s kind of a moot point. We highly encourage walking or biking if you’re local, and taking public transit or ride sharing take one less parking spot. For more info about parking and a map > CLICK HERE
