Get ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2025! Niantic has announced the dates and locations for this year's in-person events, a welcome change from previous years' late announcements. The festivities kick off in June, with three distinct locations:

  • Osaka, Japan: May 29th - June 1st
  • Jersey City, New Jersey, USA: June 6th - June 8th
  • Paris, France: June 13th - June 15th

While tickets aren't yet on sale, plan your travel now! Past events required selecting a specific day within the weekend window, so flexibility is key. A global GO Fest event is expected later in June or early July, but details remain unannounced.

Locations Overview:

This year's lineup features returning locations (Japan and the USA) and a new addition (France), replacing Spain from 2024. A global, virtual event is also anticipated.

Event Details (So Far):

Specific details are scarce at this early stage. Niantic's focus remains on the upcoming GO Tour: Unova in February 2025 (New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California). However, past GO Fest events have typically included exciting Pokémon debuts, increased raid activity, special spawns, Shiny Pokémon releases, and other bonuses. Expect further information to be revealed soon after the conclusion of the Unova Tour.
