Pokémon Go Fest Returns to Europe, Heading to Paris

Pokémon Go enthusiasts across Europe have reason to celebrate as the much-anticipated Pokémon Go Fest makes its grand return to the continent. This year, the festivities will unfold in the romantic City of Love, Paris, from June 13th to 15th. Tickets for this exciting event are now available for purchase, so be sure to secure yours!

Pokémon Go Fest is a thrilling live event that attracts thousands of players to a designated area. As a ticket holder, you'll gain access to exclusive Special Research opportunities and the chance to encounter the mythical Pokémon, Volcanion, for the first time. The event features specially-marked routes that lead participants to iconic landmarks and breathtaking natural sites throughout Paris.

Beyond exploring the city, attendees can enjoy encounters with Pokémon Mascots and renowned trainers along the route. If you need a break, relax in the team lounges before diving into the competitive action at the PvP battleground. Don't forget to browse the exclusive event merchandise available on-site!

While Pokémon Go Fest might not rival a major sporting event in scale, it draws significant crowds and greatly benefits the local economy. Paris hosting the event is a testament to the widespread recognition of the passion and dedication of Pokémon Go fans, and a nod to Niantic's commitment to engaging its community.

Keep an eye out for more Pokémon Go Fests later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will gather to continue the quest to "Catch 'em all!" Meanwhile, if you're in Chile or India and can't make it to these events, you can still participate in the new Wayfarer Challenge. By nominating local landmarks and beauty spots, you can help introduce new Pokéstops and Gyms, spreading the joy of Pokémon Go to more players than ever before.
