Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has enacted a juvenile curfew from Nov. 1 through Nov. 5 in certain high-risk areas after videos on social media showed large groups of youths brawling in the nation's Capital city.
Bowser issued an order creating Special Juvenile Curfew Zones in which persons under the age of 18 in any public place or on the premises of any establishment must leave the area unless engaged in certain exempted activities.
The order activates a citywide curfew that began at 11:00 p.m. on November 1, 2025, lasting until 6:00 a.m., and every night through Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. All persons under the age of 18 cannot remain in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the District of Columbia, unless involved in certain exempted activities.
We are declaring a limited juvenile curfew in Washington, DC.

Washington D.C. law bans juveniles under the age of 17 from being alone inside city limits on weekdays and midnight on the weekends, except in July and August.
The curfew bill expired on Oct. 5, and since then, D.C. saw an increase in crime and vandalism, according to Bowser's order.
On Oct. 13, more than 100 youth harassed people from Navy Yard to Union Station and Shady Grove. They vandalized a movie theater, assaulted an employee, and stole $200 in merchandise - all in less than 10 minutes.
On Oct. 19, a group of 100 youth fought in multiple parts of D.C.
Another brawl broke out on Halloween, video shows.
