Pokémon Go enthusiasts across Europe have reason to celebrate as the beloved Pokémon Go Fest makes its much-anticipated return, this time gracing the enchanting streets of Paris, the City of Love. Mark your calendars for June 13th to 15th, because this event promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with thrilling rewards and unique encounters.

For those unfamiliar, Pokémon Go Fest is a vibrant live event that attracts thousands of players to a designated area. Ticket holders are treated to exclusive Special Research opportunities and the exciting chance to encounter Volcanion for the first time. Attendees will follow specially-marked routes that lead them to iconic landmarks and breathtaking natural sites throughout Paris.

The festivities aren't limited to just exploring the outdoors. Along the route, you'll encounter Pokémon Mascots and renowned trainers. If you need a break, head to the team lounges to rest up before diving into the competitive PvP battlegrounds. And don't forget to keep an eye out for exclusive event merchandise to commemorate your experience!

While Pokémon Go Fest may not match the scale of major sporting events, it consistently draws large crowds and significantly boosts the local economy. Paris hosting this event is a testament to the widespread recognition and enthusiasm of Pokémon Go fans, which is a positive sign for both the community and Niantic.

Stay tuned for more Pokémon Go Fest events later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will gather in the spirit of camaraderie and the shared goal to "Catch 'em all!"

If you're not in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey but find yourself in Chile or India, you can still get involved with the new Wayfarer Challenge.
