SantaCaliGon Days Gets Curfew | Topeka News

Independence, Missouri, is imposing a strict curfew for its popular SantaCaliGon Days festival this year, running from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. starting the Thursday before Labor Day and ending at noon on Labor Day itself—with kids under 17 still allowed out as long as they’re with a parent or guardian. The move follows safety concerns from last year’s festival and recent disturbances at another event, plus a shooting at a similar gathering years ago. The curfew zone covers a tight area between Noland Road and Walnut Street, including Pleasant and Farmer streets, aiming to prevent late-night chaos during the busy event. Meanwhile, the city council also approved a November 3rd vote on a GO bond to fund historic site improvements, showing a dual focus on safety and preservation as Independence balances big celebrations with community well-being.
