Wright County has no countywide juvenile curfew. Its cities set their own: Buffalo bars under-16 after 10:30 PM, Monticello under-18 after 11 PM, and St. Michael under-16 after 10 PM and under-18 after 11 PM.
Unlike some Minnesota counties, Wright County does not impose a single countywide juvenile curfew; each city adopts its own, and the Sheriff's Office keeps a reference list. In Buffalo, minors under 16 must be off public places after 10:30 PM every night. Monticello sets 11 PM for anyone under 18. St. Michael runs 10 PM for under-16 and 11 PM for under-18, and Albertville uses the same 10 PM and 11 PM thresholds. Typical defenses include being with a parent, traveling to or from work, attending school or religious events, and emergencies. City police and county deputies enforce and notify parents.
A first curfew stop usually brings a warning and parent notification. Repeat violations can bring petty-misdemeanor citations, and a parent who knowingly permits a breach may be fined.
