It’ll be a busy day in downtown St. John’s tomorrow as businesses host their biggest shopping event of the year.
Saturday is the annual tax-free event, with 15 per cent in savings on most purchases.
Gaylynne Gulliver, marketing, special events and public relations manager with Downtown St. John’s, says it’s a win-win for shops and shoppers alike.
“This is where local businesses really make their money,” she said. “It is the difference sometimes between surviving the winter or not surviving the winter.”
When it comes to finding a place to park, Gulliver says there will be lots of free spaces available.
On-street parking is always free on the weekends, but should those spots fill up, directions to other free options will be posted to social media.
Paid parking in various garages will also be available.
