Calgary Festivals Face Noise Limits

Calgary’s music festival noise rules faced a heated council showdown, with proposals to push curfews to 1 AM and soften decibel limits sparking fierce debate. While city staff quietly adjusted the timeline to midnight-to-1 AM with a cool-down, council split over whether to prioritize business growth or resident peace — even comparing Calgary’s rules to global festivals like Coachella. An amendment to further reduce decibel drops passed, but the core proposal failed, leaving current rules intact. The outcome signals a cautious win for quiet neighborhoods over extended party hours — and some council members voiced frustration over businesses not playing a constructive role.
