Lincoln outdoor music events must comply with LMC 8.24 noise limits. Amplified events need a noise variance from the LLCHD. Permitted events get specific sound and time limits.
Outdoor music events in Lincoln are governed by LMC Chapter 8.24 noise control provisions. Standard residential limits of 60 dB(A) daytime and 50 dB(A) nighttime apply at property lines. Activities open to the public for which required permits have been issued may receive event-specific property line noise limits and time restrictions set by the LLCHD. Noise variances under LMC 8.24.150 are available for up to 15 days. Lincoln hosts numerous outdoor events including Pinewood Bowl concerts in Pioneers Park, and downtown entertainment district events which may operate under special permits. Unpermitted outdoor music that exceeds property-line limits is enforceable as a noise disturbance under LMC 8.24.090.
