Boundaries and Limits: Understanding the Do's and Don'ts
On these select holidays - New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day - be aware that construction activities, including the use of pile drivers, are strictly prohibited from morning till evening.
Now, let's talk about All Saints' Day and Remembrance Sunday. On these solemn occasions, the noise and commotion from commercial activities and entertainment events are kept at a minimum. For instance, markets, horse racing events, and circus shows are banned during these hours, typically from noon to six in the evening.
If you're hosting a get-together during these quiet holidays, make sure to maintain the tranquil mood. Entertainment events in inns and their ancillary rooms with a bar operation, as well as public entertainment events, are simply off-limits during such quiet hours.
According to Marcus Mertens, head of the local ordinance office, if your gathering doesn't fall under these restrictions, it's important to respect the essence of the holiday anyway. After all, that's what makes these days special.
It's also worth noting that during these quiet holidays, the usual regulations applying to Sundays and holidays regarding business restrictions also apply. Violations could lead to a hefty fine.
Outside of these quiet holidays, other days don't have specific restrictions mentioned, but many campgrounds adopt quiet hours for a peaceful environment. For example, Copake Camping Resort imposes quiet hours from 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Always check your local regulations for specific quiet hours.
