New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will mark his inauguration with a free, public block party down the Canyon of Heroes on Jan. 1, turning a stretch of Broadway by City Hall into an open-air celebration of music, interfaith elements, and speeches.
The event runs 11:00am – 3:00pm along Broadway from Liberty St. to Murray St. The formal swearing-in for Mamdani—held jointly with Comptroller-elect Mark Levine and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams—is scheduled for 1 p.m. on the City Hall steps, according to the transition team. Organizers say space will accommodate “tens of thousands” of New Yorkers, but RSVPs are required online.
Framing the day as both a civic ceremony and a community party, Mamdani said the inauguration would be “a celebration of the movement we built, the mandate we won, and the city we are prepared to lead.” He added: “Working New Yorkers are at the heart of our agenda and we invite them to join us as we welcome this new era of politics to City Hall.”…
