The Dumbo Holiday Tree Lighting
*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 12/04/2025
Carols, Calypso & Cocoa! Join us to ignite some holiday cheer. Drop off your letter to Santa at our mailbox, and we’ll make sure the Clauses get it in time for the holidays. And if Santa notices that your wish list can be sourced right here in Dumbo, he may just give you $100 Dumbo Dollars to spend in the neighborhood as an early holiday gift!
