Pokémon Go Fest is coming back to Europe, this time setting up in Paris

Pokémon Go enthusiasts across Europe have reason to celebrate as the beloved Pokémon Go Fest makes its grand return to the continent, this time gracing the enchanting City of Love, Paris. Mark your calendars for June 13th to 15th, as the city transforms into a Pokémon paradise. Tickets are now available, so don't miss your chance to be part of this exciting event!

Pokémon Go Fest is a live event that attracts thousands of players to a designated area. Ticket holders will enjoy exclusive access to Special Research and the unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion for the first time. The event features specially-marked routes that guide participants to iconic landmarks and breathtaking natural sites throughout Paris.

The festivities aren't limited to just exploring the city. Along the route, you'll encounter Pokémon Mascots and renowned trainers. If you need a break, relax in the team lounges before diving into the competitive action at the PvP battleground. And don't forget to keep an eye out for exclusive event merchandise!

While not on the scale of major sporting events, Pokémon Go Fest draws significant crowds and boosts the local economy. Paris hosting this event is a testament to the widespread recognition of the passion and dedication of Pokémon Go fans. It's a positive sign for both the fans and Niantic, the game's developer.

Keep an eye out for more Pokémon Go Fests later this year, as Osaka and New Jersey will host their own celebrations, giving fans another chance to join the global quest to "Catch 'em all!"

If you're not in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey but find yourself in Chile or India, you can still participate in the excitement through the new Wayfarer Challenge. Nominate local landmarks and scenic spots to become new Pokéstops and Gyms, spreading the joy of Pokémon Go to even more players around the world!
