Some of Santa’s helpers will be spreading holiday cheer to Calgary motorists Saturday.

The Holiday Parking Elves will be hanging around the 4th Street and Kensington business revitalization zones, handing out free two-hour parking sessions to randomly selected visitors.

The campaign encourages Calgarians to check out some unique shopping and dining places.

To snap-up some free parking simply approach an elf before making a payment or wait for them to pick you.

The elves will also be back December 13, between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
