Events in public spaces

The newly renovated Dumbo Archway + Plaza is a spectacular venue, and one of New York City’s most unique public spaces. The cathedral-like Dumbo Archway inspires awe, and is a fantastic setting for creative projects of all types.

Positioned at the main entrance of Brooklyn Bridge Park and with sweeping views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline, Old Fulton Plaza is a major Brooklyn tourist destination.

Interested in hosting an event in these spaces? Review the deck + get in touch.

Film and Photo Shoots

Want to shoot in the Dumbo Archway + Plaza, car-free Washington Street 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.
