Will you be dropping in?
Named after the beloved Disney cartoon elephant of the same name, this year's Dumbo Drop is happening on May 31 at 5 PM and then again at 7 PM.
Thousands of tiny toy elephants will descend from the sky and down onto Washington Street for a perfectly pleasant pachydermic party!
Grab your tickets here for $15-$25 (anyone two years old and up needs one) for a guaranteed spot where the drop is happening on the block of Washington Street between Water and Front Streets.
Ticket sales from the endearingly bizarre event help support Dumbo's Title 1 public schools.
Passholders will also get a souvenir elephant and an entry into a prize drawing for the chance to win a $500 shopping spree, a two-night stay at 1Hotel Brooklyn Bridge with dinner at the Osprey, and more!
Pop by the Dumbo Archway between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM for a block party with loads of free kids' activities.
The drop spot is located next to a beer garden and a row of yummy restaurants if you want to make a night of it!
