Because of the Jewish holiday, Sukkot, there is no alternate side of the street parking on Thursday or Friday. Here’s some information about Sukkot from the Jewish Virtual Library:

The festival of Sukkot begins on the fifth day after Yom Kippur. It is quite a transition from one of the most solemn holidays of our year to one of the most joyous. The festival is sometimes referred to as Zeman Simkhateinu, the Season of our Rejoicing.

Sukkot lasts for seven days. The word Sukkot means booth and refers to the temporary dwelling that we are commanded to live in during the holiday. The name of the holiday is frequently translated as "The Feast of the Tabernacles."  If weather, climate, and one’s health permit, one should live in the sukkah as much as possible, including sleeping in it.
