YOUR GUIDE TO LIVING IN DUMBO
DUMBO: BROOKLYN AT ITS FINEST
Epic waterfront parks. Indie Shopping. Only-in-Dumbo experiences. Giant projections. The list goes on.
DUMBO’S VERY OWN BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY BRANCH OPENED IN 2021 – WITH Reading rooms for children, teens, & adults; WiFi, laptop lending & work stationS; AND A full browsing collection with more than 10,000 books, holds pickup service, and more!
Brooklyn’s most iconic block party with an only-in-Dumbo twist: thousands of toy elephants parachuting onto Washington Street.
There’s live music, a Taste of Dumbo. Art making, Beer Gardens, a Bedazzling Extravaganza, Photo ops, a Kids Zone — and lots of chances to win mega neighborhood prizes!
All for a good cause: raising significant funding for the neighborhood’s public schools, PS307 and The Dock Street School.
Since 2014, we’ve teamed up with the Lower East Side Ecology Center to host A TECH CLEANSE, and help Dumbonians responsibly recycle their electronics.
HELD ANNUALLY IN SEPTEMBER
DUMBOWEEN
Dumboween brings hundreds of costumed Dumbonians out for our Annual March to the Arch through Brooklyn Bridge Park, followed by an Archway Party. Brass bands, puppets crafts with Creatively WILD Art Studio, and a photobooth make for a great party. Plus, 50+ Dumbo businesses hand out candy for trick-or-treat!
On the First Thursday of December, we gather to ignite some holiday cheer. Calypso carols, Christmas covers, performances by Dumbo’s middle and elementary school students, sweet treats from neighborhood restaurants, fun from the Adams Street Library and Brooklyn Bridge Parents. And of course, Santa in a photobooth!
HELD ANNUALLY ON THE FIRST THURSDAY OF DECEMBER
SANTA’S MAILBOX
Santa’s Mailbox is our direct line to the North Pole + a chance to be gifted an early present of $100 Dumbo Dollars to make those wishes come true.
