Fukuoka's Halloween is not on the street any more

福岡のハロウィンは、もう路上にはない

If you are new in Fukuoka and picturing a street Halloween in Tenjin, read this first.

Keigo Park is the place people imagine. This year the city has filled it with flowers instead. The One Flower Per Person Halloween Fest runs there from October 28 to November 1. The park opens at six in the morning and closes at five in the afternoon.

From October 27 to November 1 you cannot enter the park after five.

This is not new, and it is not random. In 2020 around six thousand people packed into that park on Halloween and it turned into chaos. The park has been shut at night over the Halloween period ever since.

So the night version of Halloween in this city is not on the street. It is indoors, in rooms, with people who already know each other.

Ours is on the 31st, from seven. Twenty seats, and twelve are already taken.

More than twenty countries and regions have come through this meetup. Earlier this month ten of us went out together and there were nine nationalities in the group. Put that room in costume on one evening and you have something you will not see twice.

Costumes are welcome. Coming as you are is also fine.
