Happy Harmony Celebration

Happy Harmony Celebration (Japanese: ハッピー・ハーモニー・セレブレーション) was a seasonal parade held at Universal Studios Japan from April 14, 2005 until June 29, 2008, during the springtime seasons, although its 2005 run was extended until the end of the summer season due to popularity.

The parade features four large floats depicting four different represented franchises at the park - Hello Kitty, Peanuts, Shrek and Sesame Street, all split into two halves to make larger floats during show-stops. The parade took place four times a day during weekends and two times a day during weekdays.

The Sesame Street unit depicts a colorful structure made out of blocks, with cutouts of character heads poking through it. The walk-around versions of Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster (First half), Elmo, Zoe, Grover and The Count (second half) appear on the unit.

Each float appears in separate locations at different times.
