Original Event Description:
🐘The Elephants are Coming to Downtown Livermore
Join us this Saturday, October 10th at 10 AM to welcome The Great Elephant Migration: A Family Gathering!
For the next two months (Oct 10 – Dec 6), 30 life-size, handcrafted elephants made by Indigenous artisans via @theerealeleco 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.

Ceremonial blessing of the herd, a cultural dance performance by @vishwashanthidance, and custom artwork textiles by @artistsiaaa (Indian American Artists Association)
