Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Dates, Locations Revealed

As the new year unfolds, *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts can look forward to a fresh lineup of live, in-person events. Niantic, responding to previous criticisms about late event announcements, has made an early reveal for 2025, exciting fans eager to plan their adventures.

When Is Pokemon GO Fest 2025?

Niantic has officially set the dates for GO Fest 2025, all scheduled for June. This year's festivities will take place across three different locations, each with its own unique dates:

• 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, trainers can begin planning their time off and travel arrangements. Following past patterns, attendees will likely need to select a specific date within the event weekend, necessitating some flexibility in travel plans until ticket sales confirm their participation date.

No dates have been set for a Global GO Fest in 2025, but based on previous years, it's expected to occur sometime in late June or early July, offering a virtual celebration for players worldwide.

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Event Details

Although early announcements mean fewer immediate details, Niantic traditionally keeps the focus on upcoming events like the GO Tour: Unova, set for February 2025 in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California, USA.

GO Fest events are known for introducing exciting new elements to *Pokemon GO*. Last year's event brought Necrozma and the Fusion mechanic to the game, alongside heavy Raid participation, unique wild spawns, Shiny debuts, and various bonuses tailored for in-person attendees. While specifics for GO Fest 2025 are yet to be announced, Niantic is expected to unveil more details following the conclusion of the Unova Tour.
