Furries turn up at Irvine's Mason Regional Park, and one passerby can't believe it

A split-screen reel under the banner "Irvine Park Taken Over by Furries!" pairs an Irvine city limit sign and a red fursuiter with blue hair giving a hug with footage of costumed furries posing and dancing on a park lawn, parked cars behind them. A man heard at the start says he's driving in Irvine and calls it a furry convention; the rest of the clip plays over a rap track.

A man who ran into a group of furries at Mason Regional Park was left stunned, according to the caption on a clip Juice Unlocked shared April 19, 2026. The caption described him as an Irvine man.

Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animal characters, and many wear costumes known as fursuits. In the video, a group of them gather on the park's lawn in brightly colored animal heads, paws and costumes.

What the video shows

A man heard at the start of the clip says he is driving in Irvine, calls the scene a furry convention and adds, "this ain't real." The footage shows costumed characters posing and dancing together on the grass, with parked cars behind them.

The post did not say who organized the gathering, when it took place or why the group met at the park, and Juice Unlocked could not confirm whether it was a formal event. The footage was credited to @sephsong.

“Yo, I'm driving in Irvine... this ain't real.”
