明治通りほか市内各所 · 博多・天神
For two days over Golden Week, stages appear all over the city. Anyone can join a dontaku troupe — companies, schools and neighbourhood associations all march, clapping rice scoops in time. It is known as one of the most heavily attended festivals in Japan.

櫛田神社ほか博多の町全体 · 博多
A UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Decorated floats go up across Hakata from 1 July, and in the small hours of the 15th, teams of men in traditional loincloths race one-tonne floats through the streets. Before dawn, in a dark city, there is nothing but shouting and flying water. The fifteen days most worth travelling for.
