(CNN) -- Philadelphia's mayor has extended the city's early juvenile curfew through Labor Day weekend, his office announced Tuesday.

"We had about 70 curfew violations over the course of (the first) Friday and Saturday nights, and I am sure that young people and their parents have now gotten the message," Nutter said last week.
