Regardless of the results in the Climax Series and Japan Series, the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks will celebrate winning the Pacific League pennant with a victory parade on November 26. A committee of individuals from the Fukuoka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Fukuoka City will organize the celebrations, in which the players will be driven through the city center in convertible cars and on open top buses. The exact route is yet to be decided, but the parade in 2015 took place along a 2.5 km stretch of Meiji Dori with a total of 350,000 fans lining the road to cheer on the team.
