Get ready, Pokémon GO Trainers! A new year brings exciting news: Niantic is announcing in-person Pokémon GO Fest events earlier than ever before. Say goodbye to long waits and hello to advance planning!
When Is Pokémon GO Fest 2025?

Mark your calendars! Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is coming to three locations in June:
- GO Fest Osaka: May 29 – June 1
- GO Fest Jersey City: June 6 – June 8
- GO Fest Paris: June 13 – June 15
While tickets aren't yet available, start planning your PTO and travel arrangements now! Past events required selecting a specific day within the weekend window, so keep that in mind when making your plans.
No global GO Fest date has been announced for 2025, but based on previous years, expect a global event sometime in late June or early July.
All Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Locations
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 will be held in:
- Osaka, Japan
- Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
- Paris, France
Japan and the US return as GO Fest hosts, while France takes the spotlight this year, replacing Spain from 2024. A global event is also anticipated.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Event Details
While the dates are set, specific event details are still under wraps. Niantic's current focus is on the upcoming GO Tour: Unova in February 2025 (New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California).

Historically, GO Fest events introduce exciting new Pokémon and features (like last year's Necrozma and Fusion mechanic). Expect plenty of Raids, special wild spawns, Shiny Pokémon debuts, and other bonuses to make the in-person experience unforgettable. More details will likely be revealed after the GO Tour: Unova concludes.
That's all the information available so far on Pokémon GO Fest 2025! Stay tuned for more updates.
