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!
Tree Lighting + Holiday Bar Crawl
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!
Santa’s Mailbox
Santa’s Mailbox is our direct line to the North Pole and a chance to be gifted an early present of $100 Dumbo Dollars to make those wishes come true.
