DUMBO DROP
Thousands of tiny elephants parachute onto Brooklyn’s most iconic block.
Dumbo Drop is Friday, May 29, 2026.
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.
Timed viewing tickets required for each Drop. Tickets include a Souvenir Elephant + Parachute, entrance to the party on Washington Street, and a chance to win major Dumbo prizes!
All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Dumbo’s Title 1 public schools, PS307 Elementary + The Dock Street Middle School.
Thanks to our 2026 Dumbo Drop sponsors!
