Zohran Mamdani\u2019s inauguration day plans are set.<\/p>\n
The Mayor-elect\u2019s team announced Sunday that it will host a block party along Broadway in Downtown Manhattan leading up to City Hall to commemorate the start of Mamdani\u2019s tenure on January 1st.<\/p>\n
According to his transition team, the block party stretches from Liberty Street to Murray Street, where New Yorkers can enjoy music and watch the ceremony. Those wishing to join should secure a spot online on the mayor-elect\u2019s transition website<\/a>. The event will also be livestreamed and registration is required for that, too.<\/p>\n The team also said Mamdani will be joined by the Public Advocate, Jumaane Williams, and comptroller-elect Mark Levine for the swearing-in ceremony on the steps of City Hall.<\/p>\n New Yorkers joining the festivities should arrive for the block party between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM to secure a good spot to watch Mamdani\u2019s inauguration ceremony. The event is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM.<\/p>\n Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist and state assemblymember, was elected as New York City\u2019s next mayor in November<\/a>, beating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Current Mayor Eric Adams had initially sought reelection but dropped out of the race in late September and later endorsed Cuomo.<\/p>\n Adams was sworn in as mayor in 2022<\/a> shortly after midnight in Times Square following the New Year\u2019s Eve ball drop celebration.<\/p>\n Mamdani will be New York City\u2019s 112th mayor due to a historical miscount discovered by a researcher at the Department of Records and first reported by Gothamist<\/a>.<\/p>\n
