Pokemon Go London Games Festival 2024 dates

Niantic has confirmed that the Pokemon Go London Games Festival 2024 event is taking place from March 29, 2024, until April 15, 2024. At the time of writing, there is no confirmation of exact times.

In the Pokemon Go London Games Festival 2024 announcement, Niantic calls the upcoming celebration a “city-wide event, which we can only assume would mean this is similar to previous London-based events, which means almost anywhere within the M25 is covered.

However, another comment later describes the event by saying, “Take part in-person for the IRL gameplay and head to Battersea Power Station to get involved.” So, it’s not entirely clear what the radius of the event will be, but we’ll update you with exact information as and when we have it.
