Bellefonte offers holiday courtesy

Bellefonte will again offer its courtesy parking program for the 2025 holiday season.

If, on a second pass that same day, no time remains and the two hours have expired, a ticket will be issued. Courtesy parking runs from Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 2026.
