Elephant Parade - Welcome to America! Elephant Parade will feature dozens and dozens of life-size Asian elephant sculptures painted by renowned artists, dignitaries, and celebrities. Proceeds from the Elephant Parade full-size exposition statue sales and an additional 20% of the Elephant Parade net profits are donated to The Asian Elephant Foundation, an independent charity which financially supports and actively monitors projects for the welfare of the endangered Asian elephants.

Over 30 life-sized baby elephants measuring almost six feet in length will be custom designed for this event by local and international artists. The Tribute Collection will be spread across four Dana Point resort properties. The Resorts of Dana Point will showcase 45 half-sized replica designs approximately three-feet in length from artists including Katy Perry, Isaac Mizrahi, Tommy Hilfiger and many more.

Opening kick-off ceremonies will begin the weekend of August 23rd when the entire herd will be on display at Doheny State Beach for a FREE community celebration welcoming the event to town. For nearly 10 weeks, elephant sculptures will be on display throughout Dana Point including local beaches, public parks, resort properties, Dana Point Harbor and other high-traffic locations.

A common cause in an uncommon place, that's what makes Dana Point the picture-perfect destination to welcome Elephant Parade. So join the conversation and help welcome this global cause onto our Southern California shoreline. To learn more about artists, activities and more, visit: www.ElephantAmerica.com
