St. Louis Summer Curfew for Teens | St. Louis News

Starting Friday, St. Louis rolls out a summer curfew for teens under 18 in Downtown and Downtown West, locking them indoors from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. until Labor Day — unless with a guardian, heading to work, or attending an official event. It’s the city’s second crack at this rule, following wild spring break weekends and a Pride event where teens were detained — one with a gun. Officials say the goal is to keep kids safe and prevent trouble before it starts, pairing it with other safety efforts like crackdowns on fireworks and weapons. Teens caught out late will be taken to a support center, not jail — though exact consequences later this summer remain unclear. The mayor and police chief see this as a proactive, community-focused tool to set a safer tone for the whole summer.
