New York City is canceling all large events through September as part of measures to prioritize city blocks for public use, but will exempt demonstrations and religious events, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on July 9.

De Blasio’s office said in a statement that as the city has begun its reopening process, canceling large events such as street fairs, outdoor concerts, parades, and others through September is vital in keeping open spaces accessible to the public.
