New York City is an unsurpassed venue for special events, festivals, parades, cultural activities, marketing potential and film/entertainment.  CECM was created to ensure that those utilizing New York City are able to take full advantage of all that the City has to offer and to provide a framework for coordination of the various City agencies that provide permits for these activities.

With the recent merge of the Mayor’s Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO) into CECM, CECM can closely oversee the coordination of all events on our City’s streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian islands while SAPO continues to receive applications and make determinations specifically on the issuance of street activity permits.

Please take a few minutes to explore CECM’s Web site, and feel free to contact our office if you have any concerns, questions, or helpful ideas.

Sincerely,

Evan Korn
Executive Director
Office of Citywide Event Coordination and Management
