Downtown establishments can currently play music outdoors until 2 a.m. A proposed noise ordinance would change that.

If it passes, outdoor music will have to be cut off by 11 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the curfew extends to 12 a.m.

The ordinance will be heard and voted on by the City Commission on May 10th, 6pm, at the Tallahassee City Hall (300 S Adams St).
