Calgary City Council ​Upholds Controversial New Curfew for Summer Festivals

Summer festival tents and concerts outside Stampede Park will adhere to a strict 12 am noise curfew on weekends, however the period of cool-down music following concerts has been extended until 1 am.

The noise debate in Calgary rages on.

Yesterday (June 23), the city council rejected a new motion proposed by councillor Kim Tyres, which aimed to reverse the controversial new curfew for the city’s summer festivals, including Calgary Stampede.

The bylaw, which was shut down by a 6-9 vote, sought to push back the curfew on concerts taking place between Sunday and Thursday from 12 am to 1 am and allow “cool-down” music until 1:30 am. Despite the rejection, the city did amend the bylaw to allow a 30-minute extension on cool-down music, which can now play until 1 am on weekdays as crowds filter out from the site.
