Elephant Parade® Burbank 2024, include 25 elephant statues at high-traffic Burbank landmarks, public spaces, local businesses, & at area hotels, thru August 31, 2024.
This citywide exhibition, a first for the Los Angeles area, will include 25 elephant statues at high-traffic Burbank landmarks, public spaces, local businesses, and at area hotels.
Funded and initiated by Visit Burbank, the City of Burbank’s official tourism marketing association, the “herd” of 25 will be led by Mahua designed by Los Angeles-artist Chariya Bissonnette and located on the AMC Walkway in Downtown Burbank. Mahua is named after the elephant spirit who takes care of all other elephants.
Elephant Parade 2024 Map: In the coming weeks, a map locating all the displayed elephant statues throughout the City will be available on the city of Burbank and Visit Burbank website and social media platforms. The elephants will be on display from July 1. 2024 through August 31, 2024, the exhibition is free and open to the public at all 25 locations.
Each elephant has been imaginatively transformed by celebrities and artists devoted to elephant conservation and celebrating the beauty of these universally adored animals through vivid color, design, passion, and humor. No two of the 25 elephants are alike and each one merits a viewing at its carefully chosen Burbank venue.
“We look forward to welcoming this incredible art exhibition to Burbank and introducing it to our city for the first time,” states City of Burbank Mayor Nick Schultz. “Elephant Parade® has become a worldwide art phenomenon, and we are thrilled that Visit Burbank has brought these masterpieces to our city, offering the perfect activity for a family day out, and raising awareness for important cause of elephant conservation.”
Since the first exhibition in 2007, millions of dollars have been raised for Asian elephant conservation projects by Elephant Parade®.
Visiting the elephants is free and open to the public. Some of the elephants at hotels may be inside the lobby, but most are outside.
