Dumbo Drop and Block Party

  • DUMBO Archway 155 Water Street Brooklyn, NY, 11201 United States (map)

DUMBO DROP 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!

New this year: the DUMBO DROP itself is ticketed. All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Dumbo’s Title 1 public schools, PS307 Elementary + The Dock Street Middle School.
