Outdoor music at Live Oak restaurants, venues, and residences must end by 10 PM weekday or 11 PM weekend unless covered by a city-approved special-event permit.
Live Oak allows outdoor music and live performances at restaurants, patios, and private events subject to the noise ordinance. Amplified or live music must not be plainly audible at the property line after 10:00 PM weekdays or 11:00 PM weekends. Commercial venues hosting regular outdoor music should work with city planning to confirm their zoning and any conditional-use requirements. Special-event permits may be requested for festivals, block parties, and fundraisers with extended hours. Residents near I-35 commercial corridors and the Main Event entertainment area may experience music from approved venues within permitted windows.
