Epic spaces. Brooklyn at its best. Dumbo is the perfect backdrop for your next launch, celebration, film or photo shoot, and more.
FILM + PHOTO SHOOTS
Want to shoot in the Dumbo Archway, Pearl Street Triangle or Old Fulton Plaza? You’ll need our permission, as well as a permit from the Mayor’s Office of Film and Television. Get in touch at dumbo@dumbonyc.org.
Fees are based on appropriateness to the plaza, disruption to the public’s use of the plaza, crew size, complexity of set-up, amount of equipment brought into plaza, and % of plaza used. You must also have liability insurance naming DUMBO District Management Association and the City of New York as additional insureds.
GET THE DUMBO TREATMENT
From cocktail parties at Smack Mellon (a loft space that once was a boiler room for other buildings in the neighborhood), and weddings at 26 Bridge (a former metal factory renovated and lined with the original brick walls) – to birthday parties at Jane’s Carousel, or a book launches at Usagi, Dumbo has the perfect location, backdrop–and florists, restaurants, tailors and more–to realize your Dumbo event vision!
