The Chapel Hill Police Department is celebrating the launch of the long-awaited Lots to Love parking campaign with a party downtown on Sunday, April 29, from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Plaza at 140 W. Franklin St.

The Lots to Love campaign will give the local community an opportunity to engage with Chapel Hill parking and learn about the latest changes to parking downtown.

The upcoming event celebrates the new campaign with live music, free food, artwork promoting the Lots to Love campaign, games and a raffle for free parking in downtown Chapel Hill for an entire year.

“This event has been in the planning stages for quite a while, and we’re so excited that it’s finally here,” said Chris Blue, Police Chief. “So many changes are all coming together, like the Park Mobile App, the new Parkeon meter installations, the new Park On The Hill website and the Lots to Love campaign launch. Now it’s time to celebrate with Chapel Hill!”

The celebration will include a live local band, family friendly outdoor games and free food. One Way Back Band, a local, six-piece party cover band, is excited to headline the party. The Town of Chapel Hill is providing snacks from Mediterranean Deli, a Chapel Hill restaurant serving fresh, authentic Mediterranean and Greek food.

“This is a family friendly event. All are welcome to join, and people of all ages will be able to enjoy it,” said Chief Blue. “We’re excited to reveal one more piece of our campaign – so definitely have your phones ready – you’ll want to capture some photos and share the #LotstoLove event! Stop by so you don’t miss the final surprise we have in store!”
