The city of Atlanta will not have a 8 p.m. curfew Saturday night.
A spokesperson with the mayor’s office confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that the citywide curfew has been lifted. Officials will monitor the situation before they make a decision about Sunday’s curfew.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms ordered the first curfew last Saturday after peaceful protests turned into a night of vandalism and looting from downtown Atlanta to Buckhead.
Bottoms had extended the nightly curfews throughout the week with an earlier one that went into effect at 8 p.m. last night.
