Winston-Salem’s New Youth Curfew

Winston-Salem’s new youth curfew, kicking in June 22nd and running until October 12th, aims to keep teens safe by restricting public access for ages 17 and under between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Designed to reduce late-night disturbances and protect minors from harm, the policy includes exceptions for supervised activities or emergencies. Police will prioritize getting teens home and connecting families with resources — but adults who neglect their responsibility could face fines up to $500 or misdemeanor charges. The move follows a tragic April park shooting that left two teens dead and reignited calls for stronger protections during vulnerable hours.
