St. Patrick’s Day honors Ireland’s patron saint and is celebrated worldwide with parades, green attire, and even green beer. Since 2014, Fukuoka has joined the festivities with a parade through Shintencho Shopping Arcade. Participants dress in green—the national color of Ireland—and march through the arcade. After the parade, attendees can enjoy performances of Irish music, including bagpipes and the Irish harp.
