Vail curfew & kids: the Town of Vail Police Department has seen an increase in unaccompanied minors and younger adults attending the Town of Vail’s Fourth of July celebrations. This has coincided with an increase in underage drinking, underage consumption of marijuana, disorderly conduct, property damage, and other offenses that directly relate to the gathering of large numbers of young adults.
In response to the ongoing issues, the Vail Police Department will staff additional officers and adopt a zero-tolerance policy as it relates to these offenses. In addition, a curfew will be in effect from 10:30 pm on July 4 to 5 a.m. on July 5. No one under the age of 18 will be allowed in public without a parent or legal guardian, with limited exceptions.
