Reno, NV Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Reno enforces one of the more robust juvenile curfew ordinances in Nevada. Under RMC curfew provisions, minors under 18 are generally prohibited from being in public places or establishments unsupervised between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM Sunday through Thursday, and between midnight and 5:00 AM Friday and Saturday. Standard exceptions include: accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult designated by the parent; traveling directly to or from a job, school event, religious service, or civic activity; responding to an emergency; on the sidewalk of the minor's own residence or an adjacent residence with consent; or exercising First Amendment rights (speech, assembly, religion) where restricting would be unconstitutional. Business owners must not knowingly allow minors to remain on the premises during curfew hours. Enforcement: Reno Police may detain a minor in violation and contact a parent/guardian for pickup or transport to the juvenile detention center. Parents may face civil fines if their minor repeatedly violates curfew. Specific curfew hours should be verified with the current RMC text as ordinances may be updated.
