DUMBO DROP is an annual tradition where thousands of toy elephants parachute down from the skies of Dumbo onto cobblestoned Washington Street – Brooklyn’s most iconic block. Plus, there’s a free epic block party with kids activities, restaurant row and more! The DUMBO Drops will take place on Friday, May 30 with elephant drops ($15-25) at 5 and 7 pm. Tickets include a souvenir toy elephant, a guaranteed spot to view the Drop on the block of Washington Street between Front Street and Water Street, and an entry into that Drop’s prize sweepstakes with a chance to win major neighborhood prizes. Drops are ticketed separately. All individuals ages 2 and older are required to purchase a viewing ticket to witness the Drop. New this year, ticket holders can enjoy a special themed photo opp, live music by The Jelly, and an interactive dance party hosted by Life Time and their star trainer Joseph David. Bites and drinks will be for sale at a Taste of Dumbo restaurant row.
