Brooklyn’s flying elephant fundraising spectacle, the annual Dumbo Drop, is back on Friday, May 29, 2026 with two drops at 5pm and 7pm of thousands of parachuting toy elephants from the rooftops surrounding Washington Street, the borough’s most iconic block.
Tickets, priced starting at $18.75, include a souvenir toy elephant, a guaranteed spot to view the Drop on the block of car-free 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. Doors open at 3:30pm for the 5pm Drop, and at 6:00pm for the 7pm Drop.
