Summary
Thousands of Pokémon GO players are heading to Chicago this weekend for a 10th-anniversary GO Fest at Grant Park, running daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from June 5 to June 7.
Grant Park attendees will be able to catch special Pokémon, battle other trainers, complete event-only quests and challenges, and join special in-game experiences tied to the celebration.
Chicago is also hosting related Pokémon events at Rate Field, Lincoln Park Zoo and the Field Museum, alongside food, merchandise and influencer appearances around the festival.
The gathering returns to the city that hosted the first Chicago GO Fest in 2017, an event remembered for server outages and technical problems that raised fresh questions about network capacity for large crowds.
