Description

#DUMBODROP is an 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!

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