Pokémon Go Fest Returns to Europe, Heading to Paris

Get ready, Pokémon Go enthusiasts in Europe! The much-anticipated European edition of Pokémon Go Fest is making a grand return, and this time, the celebration is set to unfold in the enchanting City of Love, Paris. Mark your calendars for June 13th to 15th, because it's going to be a Pokémon-filled extravaganza, and tickets are now available for purchase!

If you're unfamiliar with the event, Pokémon Go Fest is a live gathering that attracts thousands of players to a designated area. As a ticket holder, you'll gain access to exclusive Special Research tasks and the unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion for the first time. The event will feature specially-marked routes that guide participants to iconic landmarks and stunning natural sites throughout Paris.

It's not just about exploring the outdoors; you'll also have the chance to meet beloved Pokémon Mascots and renowned trainers along the route. If you need a break, relax in the team lounges before heading to the PvP battleground to test your skills. And don't miss out on the exclusive event merchandise available for purchase!

While Pokémon Go Fest might not rival major sporting events in scale, it typically draws significant crowds and provides a substantial boost to the local economy. Paris hosting this event is a testament to the widespread recognition of the passion and dedication of Pokémon Go fans, which is great news for both the community and Niantic.

Stay tuned for more Pokémon Go Fest events later this year, as fans in Osaka and New Jersey will also get their chance to join in the fun and strive to "Catch 'em all!"

If you're not located in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey but find yourself in Chile or India, don't worry! You can still get involved with the new Wayfarer Challenge. Nominate local landmarks and scenic spots to become new Pokéstops and Gyms, helping to expand the Pokémon Go experience to even more players worldwide!
