Given that the most famous elephant in popular culture is named Dumbo, it's only fair for one of the year's most magical pachyderm-related events to take place across the eponymous Brooklyn neighborhood.
On May 31 at both 5pm and 7pm, the annual Dumbo Drop, when thousands of tiny toy elephants quite literally parachute down from the sky onto Washington Street, is set to delight all attendees.
Super entertaining and visually striking, the event also benefits a good cause: ticket sales support Dumbo's Title 1 public schools—PS307 Elementary School and the Dock Street Middle School. Folks can snag the $15-$25 passes to each drop right here (remember that anyone who is two years old and up needs a ticket to see the flying elephants).
