DUMBO DROP

Thousands of tiny elephants parachute onto Brooklyn’s most iconic block!

Watch elephants parachute into Dumbo–for a good cause!

#DUMBODROP is our annual tradition, where thousands of toy elephants parachute down from the skies of Dumbo onto our cobblestoned Washington Street – Brooklyn’s most iconic block. Plus, there’s an epic block party with kids activities, restaurant row and more!

Timed viewing tickets required for each Drop. Plus, party at the Dumbo Archway Kids Zone + Restaurant Row, for free!

All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Dumbo’s Title 1 public schools, PS307 Elementary + The Dock Street Middle School.
