DUMBO DROP 2025! Watch elephants parachute into Dumbo--for a good cause!

#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.
