The third Japan Parade & Street Fair was held on Saturday, May 11th, 2024! Featuring epic performances by groups representing both traditional and modern Japanese culture, from martial arts teams, dance troupes, choirs, bands and more, the Parade marched down Central Park West, under clear skies and beautiful weather. We're thankful to the many New Yorkers who gathered along the route to celebrate with us! The Street Fair was equally popular, and was filled with visitors there to taste authentic Japanese cuisine and get hands on with some Japanese cultural activities like calligraphy and origami.
By official NYPD estimates, approximately 50,000 people came out to celebrate with us on May 11th. We were so proud to bring Japan to you on that Saturday, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those involved, especially our Grand Marshal Shingo Kunieda.
