Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15 — 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM both days. FREE, no tickets and no sign-up.
Shiny Hunters of Noblesville is turning Forest Park into a two-day home base for Pokémon GO Wild Area 2026, the game's global November event. Level 8 or level 50, day-one player or someone who reinstalled last week, coming with a full group or showing up alone — you're welcome here. Bring your kids, bring your parents, bring the friend who only plays when you drag them out.
SURVIVAL KITS — the first 100 trainers through check-in each day get a free kit: an exclusive event patch, a code card good for 4 in-game items, 2 extra raffle tickets and more. It resets each day, so if you miss Saturday you get another shot Sunday.
THE RAFFLE — 15 prizes, and you pick which one your tickets go toward. Every prize includes the official GO WILD 2026 enamel pin. Earn tickets by checking in, getting your face painted, grabbing a Survival Kit, wearing Pokémon gear or joining a raid train. Kids too young to check in themselves get two tickets. Drawing at 5:30 PM each day; you must be present to win.
POKÉ BALL HUNT — five physical Poké Balls hidden in the park each day. Bring one back to the Check-In Station to claim it: the Ultra Ball is worth $50 in PokéCoins, the Great Ball $25, and three standard Poké Balls $10 each. Free to play, and every finder also gets the pin.
FACE PAINTING & HEADBANDS — artists on site with eight exclusive Pokémon designs, plus free Pikachu, Eevee and Mewtwo headbands for everyone.
FOOD TRUCKS — Blue Smoke BBQ and Fenny's Hot Dogs both days, plus Café Huesca's mobile coffee cart on Sunday only.
Both shelters have high-speed charging stations, and raid trains run all day, both days.
Everyone's welcome — any level, any team, any age. Two rules: don't cheat, and treat everyone with respect.
Hosted by Shiny Hunters of Noblesville, a free Pokémon GO community group and official Niantic Community Ambassador group that runs three to seven meetups a week in Noblesville, in partnership with Noblesville Parks & Recreation.
