HYDE PARK — Businesses across Hyde Park are offering discounts the first Thursday of every month — and there is going to be so much free parking.
The new First Thursday promotion for the neighborhood kicks off April 7 with more than 40 stores and restaurants offering discounts or other promotions for shoppers who buy local between 6-9 p.m.
Some stores are offering discounts, including clothing store Sir and Madame and restaurants Rajun Cajun and A10, which are offering 15 percent off.
Probably the best news for a lot of Hyde Parkers is that some participating businesses will be handing out vouchers for three hours of free parking at Harper Court, 5235 S. Harper Court.
A full list of participating businesses is available online at firstthurs.com.
Organizers plan to continue the monthly sales and promotions through December if it’s successful.
