Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Schedule and Venue Revealed

With the arrival of the new year, *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts can look forward to an exciting lineup of live, in-person events. Niantic, the game's developer, has taken heed of past criticisms regarding late event announcements and has decided to unveil the schedule for *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025 much earlier this year.

When Is Pokemon GO Fest 2025?

Niantic has officially confirmed the dates for *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025, which are set to take place in June across three different locations:

• GO Fest Osaka: May 29 – June 1
• GO Fest Jersey City: June 6 – June 8
• GO Fest Paris: June 13 – June 15

While tickets are not yet available, fans can start planning their time off and travel arrangements. Historically, the ticket model has required players to select a specific date within the event weekend. This means participants should keep some flexibility in their plans until tickets are released and they can confirm their attendance date for *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025.

As of now, no dates have been announced for the Global *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025. However, following past trends, a global event is expected to occur sometime in late June or early July.

All Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Locations

The chosen locations for *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025 are:

• Osaka, Japan
• Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
• Paris, France

Two of these countries, Japan and the USA, are repeats from the 2024 events, while France replaces Spain as the new destination for this year. Although no global event has been officially confirmed yet, recent years have featured a scaled-back, virtual version of GO Fest, allowing players worldwide to participate after the in-person events conclude.

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Event Details

Despite the early announcement of the dates, Niantic has not yet released detailed information about the specifics of *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025. Currently, the *Pokemon GO* official website focuses on the upcoming GO Tour: Unova event, set to take place in February 2025 in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California, USA.

Typically, *Pokemon GO* Fest events introduce new *Pokemon* and exciting mechanics. For example, last year's event introduced Necrozma and the Fusion mechanic. These events are also known for their heavy focus on Raids, leveraging the gathering of *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts. Attendees can also expect unique wild spawns, Shiny debuts, and various bonuses to enhance the in-person experience. While specific details for *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025 are still under wraps, Niantic is expected to share more enticing information following the conclusion of the Unova Tour.

And that's everything to know about *Pokemon GO* Fest 2025, including dates and locations.
