- Pokémon Go Fest is returning to Europe, and this time it’s Paris that’s the scene
- Ticket holders can nab amazing rewards throughout the two day event
- Meanwhile, fans will descend on the city in thousands to celebrate Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go fans in Europe can rejoice! Because the European edition of the popular Fest celebration is set to make a return; better yet this time around it’s visiting none other than the City of Love itself, Paris. From June 13th to 15th it’s Pokémon Go all the way, so check in because tickets are now on sale!
For those not in the know, Pokémon Go Fest is a live event that sees players descending on a single area in their thousands. Ticket holders get access to exclusive Special Research, while visitors will have their first chance to meet Volcanion. Specially-marked routes will guide participants in Pokémon Go Fest to notable landmarks and sites of natural beauty around the city.
Of course, it’s not all just walking around outside and both Pokémon Mascots and notable trainers will make an appearance on the route. Need to take the weight off? Check out the team lounges before heading for glory at the PvP battleground. And as always, keep your eye out for exclusive event merchandise while you’re there!

Go to Paris
While they may not be on the level of say, a major sporting event, the Pokémon Go Fest celebrations are typically quite well-attended and a real boon to the local economy. The fact that Paris acquiesced to this is a good sign for fans of the series, and Niantic themselves, of how recognised the enthusiasm of Pokémon Go Fans is.
Keep your eye out for more Pokémon Go Fests coming later this year, as both Osaka and New Jersey will see fans arrive to try and live up to that common rallying cry and “Catch ’em all!”
Speaking of which, if you’re not in the aforementioned locations but somewhere in Chile and India then why not participate in the new Wayfarer Challenge? Help introduce the world to new Pokéstops and Gyms by nominating local landmarks and beauty spots to bring the joy of Go to more players than ever!
