By the way, for the past 10 years, the general term for the events at each venue, as well as the illuminations in the Nakasu area and photo spots such as Fukuoka Airport, was "Fukuoka Christmas Market," but starting this year, that general term has changed to "Christmas Advent."
The logo has been revamped with the hope that "May those who visit Fukuoka be filled with love, illuminated with hope and light, and that everyone in the city will have a good year and spend peaceful days." The red represents love, the yellow represents hope, and the green represents peace and eternal life.
