Pokemon Go Fest Invades Grant Park Chicago

Article excerpt

Pokémon Go Fest returns to Chicago this weekend for the first time since 2018, with the ninth annual in-person event centered in Grant Park. Players will have access to citywide exploration activities plus a ticketed gathering in the park itself, where trainers can catch Pokémon and compete in the augmented-reality game that turned mobile gaming into a social phenomenon when it launched in 2016. The event typically draws thousands of players and has become a flagship experience for Niantic's aging but still-popular franchise.
