Well, Congress certifies the presidential election, and inaugurations are organized by a non-governmental committee appointed by the president-elect.
If the government shuts down, you can be damn sure they’ll still certify Trump’s victory, and the inauguration will go forward regardless, though it may be a bit rougher and less safe than usual. A shutdown wont help us the way you’re hoping.
Edit: here’s some info on how inaugurations are funded and organized.
Yeah the Capitol and the Mall are on Federal land, but there are always exceptions to shutdowns, so they’d find a way to get the permits in time. Republicans will be in power regardless, so there’s no way they’ll let a shutdown impact Trump’s inauguration.
First thing to shut down should be whatever entities are involved in certifying elections and organizing inaugurations.

Is the land it nornally happens on government land and a permit wouldn’t be issuable if the government was shut down?

Oh I didn’t think it could be stopped, but I thought maybe they’d be forced to do it elsewhere.
