Our goal is to become the world’s largest Christmas market with 300 stores by 2030. The 2023 Christmas market, which has the largest number of stores in the world, will be held simultaneously at four venues: Schlossplatz, Schillerplatz, Marktplatz, and Karlsplatz in the German city of Stuttgart (Wednesday, November 29, 2023 – December 23, 2023) There are approximately 280 Christmas markets held on Sundays (Saturdays). (According to our research) Approximately 150 stores will open for Christmas Advent in 2024. ■Characteristics of Christmas Advent During the period, the main venues will be Fukuoka Airport, JR Hakata Station Square, Kihinkan Square, Tenjin Central Park, Fureai Square on the west side of Fukuoka City Hall, and Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City, and the area from Hakata to Nakasu to Tenjin will become a belt of light and illumination. There will also be a Christmas market. You can enjoy mulled wine and Christmas miscellaneous goods at the huttes (wooden huts) at each venue, allowing you to celebrate Christmas while staying in Fukuoka. Since it is held in the city, one of the attractions is that you can easily stop by in between shopping. In addition, music stages are held once an hour, and workshops are held depending on the venue, so people of all generations can enjoy
it. https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/105684/40/105684-40-7642d0073c42371d39229fd5a8a91a0f-1500×1001.jpg Illuminations and huttes (wooden huts) decorate the venue
