SEASIDE, Fla. (WDNews) – The town of Seaside, Florida, in collaboration with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, has enacted a 6 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors starting Wednesday, July 3 through Saturday, July 6.
This comes after several incidents were reported last night at Central Square and downtown Seaside.
A video circulating on social media shows one of the incidents, in which a firework was set off amongst a large gathering of teenagers.
The town of Seaside and the Walton County Sheriff’s Office agreed that a curfew for unaccompanied minors was the best strategy to prevent any further incidents.
“Our number one goal, shared by our law enforcement partners at the WCSO, is to ensure the safety of all who step foot on our property,” said Seaside in a Facebook post.
Seaside and WCSO ask parents to be accountable for their teenage children to ensure safety during the Independence Day celebrations.
