The "チキフェス2018 (Chicken Festival 2018)" is scheduled to take place at the Tenjin Chuo Koen (Tenjin Central Park) from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th March 2018. The newly established three day food event, which is being organized with the help of Avex Entertainment Inc. and RKB Mainichi Broadcasting Corporation, will offer visitors the chance to sample some of the best chicken dishes that Kyushu has to offer!

This massive festival will feature a total of 36 food stands selling a range of delicious specialties, such as Kyushu jidori (local) chicken, kara-age (fried chicken), and yakitori (chicken skewers). Tasty confectionary will also be available for any visitors with a sweet tooth! Soft cream, Nagasaki-style milkshakes, and Castella puddings are just some of the scrumptious treats that will be on sale over the three days. The Fukuoka barikata-style vocal group FREAK are serving as event ambassadors and will be performing live together with other exciting acts to help inject an added sense of energy into the event.

A special stage will be set up that will see the gorgeous model "Niki," who was one of the stars of the hit show Terrace House Aloha State, give a talk on Saturday 24th. The five-piece dance and vocal group "Da-iCE" are scheduled to perform on Sunday 25th alongside Fukuoka-based idol group "LinQ!" This will be a great opportunity to see artists and celebrities that have ties to the Kyushu region at a venue surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms! Enjoy a fusion of food and entertainment, while taking in the warm Spring breeze! (Editorial Dept.: YF)
