Pokemon GO Pokewalk Challenge in Downtown Highland Park

To celebrate the excitement that Pokemon GO has created in the global gaming community, we are creating Downtown Highland Park’s first-ever Pokemon GO meet-up! Get out of the house, battle your Pokemon at our gyms and socialize with other PokemonGO players. To become familiar with the game, download the free app here.

WHAT: Get Your Pokeballs ready for a 3-hour walk filled with Pokestops, Gyms and all the Pokemon you can catch throughout Downtown Highland Park. We are setting up lures at our most popular landmarks and art sculptures. Wear your favorite Pokemon gear or your team colors (Yellow, Blue, Red). We want to get a group photo! You are welcome to stay or stray away from the group. It’s highly recommended to bring water, snacks, and battery packs to keep your phones charged. This event is not owned, managed, or affiliated with Niantic, Nintendo, or the Pokemon company. More details of participating businesses' deals and promotions TBA!
