DUMBO DROP 2026! 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. Ticket holders also have access to the pre-Drop block party, with live music, spectacle photo opps, crafts, a Restaurant Row, and more fun!

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

Everyone ages two (2) years and older needs a ticket to enter Washington Street to see elephants fly.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET:

• One entry to Washington Street between Front Street and Water Street
• One souvenir elephant + parachute. Pick this up when you scan your ticket and enter! 2026 collectible designed by illustrator Christian A. Vera.
• Automatic entry into that Drop's Prize Drawing! Prizes are winner's choice, in order of draw.
• PRE-DROP BLOCK PARTY! A live set by The Jelly on the Main Stage, a flash mob dance party hosted on the LifeTime Stage, a photobooth with commemorative prints, a Drop-themed craft for kids and kidults with Creatively Wild, a Design-your-own-parachute with Little Kid Big City, lego fun with Brooklyn Bridge Parents, give aways and Restaurant Row (with tastes priced $7)

Please note, ticket holders we be asked to leave Washington Street immediately following the Drop, so come when doors open for your ticket type so you have plenty of time to enjoy the pre-Drop fun!
