Pokemon GO Fest 2024 Dates Explained

Pokemon GO Fest 2024 kicks off with real-world festivities in three cities:

  • Sendai, Japan, will host the opening weekend from May 30 to June 2, marking Japan’s first GO Fest.
  • Madrid, Spain, welcomes trainers from June 14 to 16.
  • New York City, USA, hosts the penultimate weekend from July 5 to 7.

Live attendees will be able to explore with other trainers searching for Pokémon and participating in raids. In-person events are also a great opportunity to experience the rich culture of the host cities. However, for those who can’t make the trip, there is still fun to be had.

For those unable to attend in person, a two-day online global event on July 13 and 14 will be playable for everyone, regardless of location. With over 70 Pokemon appearing during the event, including special costumed Pokemon, raids featuring iconic creatures like Necrozma, and bonuses galore, there’s something for everyone.

Trainers can opt for a ticket to unlock exclusive content, bonuses, and rewards, including encounters with Mythical Pokemon like Marshadow. Plus, ticket holders can participate in Special Research quests and collaborate in the Global Challenge Arena to unlock special bonuses.

With tickets priced at $14.99, trainers can secure their spot in this epic event via the in-game shop or Pokemon GO Web Store. You have until the last day of the event to purchase a pass. However, early ticket purchasers also receive additional rewards, so you’ll want to snag them soon.

Pokemon GO is available on iOS and Android platforms. Pokemon GO Fest begins May 30 in Sendai, Japan.
