"Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Dates, Venues, and Highlights"

A new year brings fresh excitement for *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts with the announcement of the 2025 live, in-person events. Niantic, responding to community feedback about late event disclosures, has decided to reveal the dates for GO Fest 2025 earlier than usual. This early announcement allows fans to plan their vacations and secure time off from work well in advance.

When Is Pokemon GO Fest 2025?

Niantic has set the stage for GO Fest 2025, scheduling it for 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

Tickets for these events have yet to be released, but early planning is recommended. Historically, ticket sales require selecting a specific date within the event weekend, so some flexibility in travel plans might be necessary until the ticket dates are confirmed.

No dates have been announced for the Global GO Fest 2025 yet, but based on previous years, it's expected to occur sometime in late June or early July.

All Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Locations

The chosen locations for GO Fest 2025 are:

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

Japan and the US return as host countries from the previous year, while France replaces Spain as the new European venue for 2025.

While no Global event has been officially confirmed, the trend suggests a virtual, scaled-back version of GO Fest will follow the in-person gatherings, allowing players worldwide to participate in the festivities.

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Event Details

With the early announcement of GO Fest dates, specific event details are still under wraps. Current focus on the Pokemon GO official website is on the upcoming GO Tour: Unova in February 2025, set to take place in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California, USA.

Traditionally, GO Fest events introduce exciting new features and Pokemon to Pokemon GO. Last year's event saw the debut of Necrozma and the Fusion mechanic, alongside a focus on Raid battles, taking full advantage of the in-person gathering of players. Expect to see unique wild spawns, Shiny Pokemon debuts, and various bonuses to enhance the experience for attendees. Specific details for GO Fest 2025 will likely start emerging soon after the conclusion of the Unova Tour.
