Hakata is hosting various cultural and regional events throughout late 2026.

In late August, Hakata Station will host the ‘Oyama Yumekobo Tsubame Marche,’ an event featuring agricultural products and regional brands from Hita, Oita Prefecture. This market includes collaborations with the ‘Attack on Titan’ series, offering themed photo spots and exclusive products.

As the season progresses into autumn and winter, the area will host several traditional festivities. These include the Hakata Toumei Watching candle art event, the Hakata Okunchi festival, and the Hakataori Exhibition. Other scheduled activities include the Kawabata Night Festival, the 51st Nakasu Festival, and special pagoda viewings at Higashi Hongan-ji temple. The period concludes in December with the 32nd Hakata Odori, a traditional dance performance at the Hakataza Theater.
