Dontaku
This event is held in Fukuoka City on May 3rd and 4th. It is also called "Hakata Dontaku" and, together with the Port Festival, "Matsubayashi Dontaku Port Festival."

On the 3rd, Matsubayashi gathers at Kushida Shrine and parades through the city, and each neighborhood brings out a costume procession and dancing floats, creating a lively atmosphere. Dontaku is a variation of the Dutch word Zontag (Sunday).
