Keller outdoor music is governed by Chapter 54 plus special event permits. Typical cutoff: 10 PM weeknights, 11 PM weekends at venues like Keller Town Hall and Bear Creek Park.
Outdoor music in Keller is governed by the general noise ordinance in Chapter 54 together with the special event permitting program administered through Parks and Recreation (for park venues) and the City Secretary (for right-of-way and multi-site events). Scheduled concerts and festivals at the Keller Town Hall plaza, Bear Creek Park, Keller Sports Park, and commercial venues in the Keller Town Center area operate under permit conditions that define the event footprint, speaker aim, end time (typically 10:00 PM on weeknights and 11:00 PM on Friday or Saturday), and a noise contact on site. Restaurants and patios with amplified live music along US 377 and Keller Parkway must remain within the conditions of their Certificate of Occupancy and must not produce sound plainly audible inside a neighboring residence during nighttime hours. Residential outdoor music including backyard karaoke, pool parties, and garage bands must comply with the plainly audible and unreasonable disturbance tests; after 10:00 PM a neighbor complaint will typically draw a responding officer and a request to shut down. Violations of event permit conditions can result in revocation of the permit, denial of future permits, and Class C misdemeanor citations up to 500 dollars. Free-speech and religious assembly uses have limited first-amendment protections but are still subject to reasonable time, place, and manner limits.
Permit revocation on top of Class C misdemeanor citations up to 500 dollars; denial of future permits for operators with repeated violations of stated event conditions.
