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 is set to return, with Paris, the City of Love, hosting the event this year. Mark your calendars for June 13th to 15th, as the French capital transforms into a hub for Pokémon Go activities, with tickets now available for purchase!

For those unfamiliar, Pokémon Go Fest is a vibrant live event that gathers thousands of players in one location. Ticket holders will enjoy exclusive access to Special Research and the unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion for the first time. Specially designated routes will lead participants through Paris, showcasing the city's landmarks and natural beauty spots.

The event isn't just about exploring outdoors; attendees can also look forward to meeting Pokémon Mascots and renowned trainers along the route. Need a break? Relax in the team lounges before challenging others in the PvP battleground. Don't miss out on the exclusive event merchandise that will be available!

While Pokémon Go Fest may not rival major sporting events in scale, it attracts significant crowds and boosts the local economy. Paris hosting the event underscores the recognition of Pokémon Go's passionate fanbase and is a testament to Niantic's commitment to the community.

Stay tuned for more Pokémon Go Fest events later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will continue the quest to "Catch 'em all!" If you're not in these locations but are in Chile or India, consider joining the new Wayfarer Challenge.
