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!
Through innovative educational programming, interactive art installations, and a dedication to tradition, Chabad of Dumbo is rejuvenating and reinvigorating Jewish life in downtown Brooklyn. Their aim is to introduce the beauty, meaning, and spiritual vitality that is inherent to Judaism – but has been lost in the shift of Jewry to North America. This will be accomplished through several different mediums which can be categorized into three broad focuses; Children’s Programming, Adult Education, and Art.
Dumbo is home to dozens of incredible, impactful nonprofits. They support artists, immigrants, food security, the environment and so much more. Consider donating to the organizations that make DUMBO the neighborhood we love.
