Custom Merch for Events in New York, NY
Merch Mob makes attendee and souvenir tees, staff, crew and security shirts, and volunteer shirts for events in New York, NY, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to New York. Slightly more of New York is 18 to 34 than the country as a whole, 25% against 23% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan for a mixed crowd: a soft tee in a full size range, plus one oversized style.
New York by the numbers
New York has 8,584,629 residents, 2.5% fewer than in 2020 (Census estimates).
Kings County has 99 event promoters (performing arts, sports and similar events) with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.37 for every 10,000 residents, above the national figure of 0.27. 83% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is up 22% from 81 in 2018.
That counts promoters with a payroll; one-off events run by volunteers or venues are not in it.

What New York's weather means for events
July peaks at an average high of 85°F, so summer events from May to September are true tee weather, and the attendee run can lead with short sleeves and a cap. Winter is cold but workable, with January averaging a high of 40°F, so holiday markets and winter runs can stay outdoors if staff have a fleece layer and the booth carries hoodies. Wet weather is spread through the year, about 50 inches of rain and melted snow in all, so every outdoor date needs a rain plan, and booth cartons should be wrapped and kept off the ground. Plan a snow backup for winter events, since about 30 inches fall in a typical year, and set a weather-call deadline that staff and vendors know in advance. Cold nights are common, with the low at 32°F or below on about 67 nights a year, so an event that runs into the evening needs a warm staff layer for the last hours, and beanies belong next to the hoodies on the table.
