Curfew Laws in Vacaville, CA (2026)

Juvenile Curfew

The City of Vacaville maintains a juvenile curfew ordinance at Vacaville Municipal Code Chapter 9.34 (Curfew). The chapter generally makes it unlawful for a minor (a person under 18 years of age) to be present in or upon any public place, public street, highway, road, lane, park, playground, public building, place of amusement or entertainment, vacant lot, or other public ground during defined curfew hours, subject to enumerated defenses including being accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling directly to or from lawful employment, engaged in lawful interstate travel, attending an official school, religious, or other lawfully-organized activity, or responding to an emergency. The chapter also imposes parental liability for permitting a curfew violation, consistent with the framework upheld by the California Court of Appeal in Nunez v. City of San Diego.
