Japan Parade & Street Fair Official Mascot

Acky Bright

I’m a born and raised New Yorker, and a big fan of Japanese culture.

I love to explore new things to share my charm with everyone!

I have a really cool signature “squirrel hat”! It’s is a magical item that changes expression in sync with my emotions!

I represent my home town of NYC by wearing navy blue and orange and my favorite apple t-shirt!

You can tell my love for Japanese culture from my stylish Japanese traditional happi coat as well!

I heard that squirrels are really important to Japan Parade because of their long history with Central Park!!

Did everyone know that before Japan Parade & Street Fair, there was Japan Day @ Central Park??

I can’t wait to introduce everyone to my squirrel friends!
