In recognition of the importance of the Christmas season for businesses, the Mullingar Kinnegad Municipal District Members approved the following dates for free off-street parking in Council owned car parks on the 28^th of November, 6^th, 12^th, 13^th, 19^th, 20^th, 22^nd and 23^rd of December, 2025.

“Mullingar Chamber warmly welcomes this initiative,”said James Bourke, President of Mullingar Chamber of Commerce. “The provision of free off-street parking on selected dates is a practical and positive measure that will make it easier for people to visit, shop, and support local businesses throughout the festive season. Christmas is a crucial trading period for retailers and the hospitality sector alike, and this gesture will undoubtedly enhance footfall and strengthen the town’s appeal as a welcoming and vibrant destination.”

On-street parking will operate as normal during these times to enable traffic flow and short-term business needs. The list of car parks is set out below.
