Pokémon Go Fest Returns to Europe in Paris

• Pokémon Go Fest returns to Europe, and this year Paris is the host city.
• Ticket holders can unlock exclusive rewards throughout the two-day event.
• Thousands of fans will gather in the city to celebrate all things Pokémon Go.

European Pokémon Go trainers, get ready: the popular Go Fest event is making a comeback, and this time it’s taking place in the romantic city of Paris. From June 13th to 15th, immerse yourself in all things Pokémon Go—and be sure to book your tickets now, because they’re already available!

If you’re unfamiliar, Pokémon Go Fest is a live gathering that draws thousands of players to one location. Ticket holders gain access to special research tasks and will be among the first to encounter Volcanion. Specially designated routes will lead participants to key landmarks and scenic spots across Paris.

Of course, there’s more than just walking. Look out for appearances by beloved Pokémon mascots and notable trainers along the route. Need a break? Relax in one of the team lounges before testing your skills at the PvP battleground. And while you’re there, watch for limited-edition event merchandise!

While perhaps not as large as a major sporting event, Pokémon Go Fest consistently draws sizable crowds and provides a welcome boost to the local economy. Paris hosting the event signals strong recognition for the dedication of Pokémon Go players—a positive sign for the community and for Niantic.

Stay tuned for additional Pokémon Go Fests later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will unite under the classic motto: “Gotta catch ’em all!”

And if you’re not in those locations but live in Chile or India, consider joining the new Wayfarer Challenge! Help expand the game’s world by nominating local landmarks and scenic areas as new PokéStops or Gyms—bringing the fun of Pokémon Go to even more players.
