Pokemon Go Fest 2026 Announced For Three Major Cities, Including Chicago

To celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, Pokémon Go Fest 2026 will be held in three cities around the world: Tokyo, Chicago, and Copenhagen. The event will begin in late May in Japan and conclude in mid-June in Denmark.

Information about Pokémon Go Fest 2026 is limited beyond the cities hosting the event. But Niantic plans to include worldwide events for players who can’t travel to the main locations. Last year, these global events brought Gigantamax starters to Pokémon Go, and similar events are expected for 2026.
