We’re off to another festival – but this time, a more contemporary type. Freedom Night Market, a summer tradition in Hakata, returns for the first time in three years! Located in Seiryu Park just beside Canal City, it’s easily accessible on foot from both Tenjin and Hakata. It’s a place for young and old to enjoy an Asian-style night market. To celebrate the 10th edition of this annual event, 700 lanterns will light up the venue. Browse a range of booths offering food and drink from popular Fukuoka and Kyushu restaurants at the outdoor food area “Chikappa Yokocho.” Also don’t miss the stalls offering accessories and handicrafts, massages, fortune-telling, artwork, festival games, as well as a stage that will feature live music and dance performances.
• 8/11 (Thu., hol.) ~ 8/21 (Sun.)
• 16:00~23:00
• Free entry
• Seiryu Park
• 1-7 Nakasu, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka

A very nice night market live tonight never watched before , thank you the nice trip
Hey Nick, missed you by a day. We were there yesterday night! Great video!
Hi Nick and Emiko,
That is too bad we could not say hello to you. My daughter, wife and I appears at 1:01.35 of the video. Because of the sudden rain we had to leave in a hurry 😞
Maybe next time.
