A Day Full of Activities

- Workshops on the Campfire app

In parallel, organized raid groups will fan out from XPERION to Planten un Blomen and HafenCity, giving trainers the chance to embark on various routes across the city, from shorter excursions in HafenCity to longer adventures toward Alster.
Community Ambassador Rally
An exciting feature of this celebration is the Community Ambassador Rally. Attendees can pick up a physical rally card at XPERION and earn stamps by participating in various activities and raids. With up to six stamps available—two each from Planten un Blomen and HafenCity, and two from actions at XPERION—participants can win exclusive Pokémon merchandise if they collect at least four stamps.
To join the rally, attendees must have a Campfire account, which allows for parental accounts for kids. Unlike in-game stamps, this is a physical action organized by community ambassadors. Additionally, the XPERION Hub will have photo opportunities and giveaways like Pokémon GO pins, while supplies last.
Important Note Regarding Venue Changes
On the same weekend, Hamburg will host the Hamburg Triathlon. In response, the event organizers have expanded the celebration area to include both Planten un Blomen and HafenCity, in collaboration with local community ambassadors. Official routes will help participants navigate safely between areas and the central hub at XPERION.
Connecting through Community
Seven local Pokémon GO communities, including groups like Hamburg West Raids & Events and Talk Pokémon Altona, are behind the successful organization of this event. Trainers who have yet to find a community can easily search for local groups via Campfire, promoting a supportive environment for all players.
Conclusion
For those unable to attend in person, the Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global will take place simultaneously worldwide, making it accessible for trainers everywhere. Whether you are joining in Hamburg or participating in your local festivities, the Pokémon GO community is ready to celebrate the joy of Pokémon together.
This year’s Community Celebration in Hamburg promises to be an unforgettable experience, showcasing the power of community in the world of Pokémon GO. Don’t miss out on this tremendous opportunity to connect, explore, and enjoy!
