🐘The Elephants in Downtown Livermore have arrived!
Head downtown this Saturday, October 10th at 10am to welcome The Great Elephant Migration: A Family Gathering and a day full of activities!
For the next two months (Oct 10 – Dec 6), 30 life-size, handcrafted elephants made by Indigenous artisans via The Real Elephant Collective will grace Bankhead Plaza and Stockmen’s Park. This intimate herd brings the same joy, magic and purpose to smaller communities, gardens and cultural spaces. It carries the heart of the flagship exhibition, but in a smaller, nimbler format, allowing these wonderful elephants to wander into places where the full herd simply can’t.
