Here's The Route Map For The Pokémon Go Party In Downtown Peterborough On Saturday

Downtown has become a hotspot for catching Pokémon, so the Downtown Business Improvement Area and PtboCanada.com are inviting all trainers to the hub of our city on Saturday, August 6th from noon to 5 p.m. to catch as many as they can.

To bring in as many Pokémon as possible, Downtown Peterborough be using lure modules at seven PokeStops.

Saturday’s event will focus on the George Street area between Simcoe and Brock streets as well as Hunter Street between George and Aylmer streets. Here is the route map...

The Pokémon Go event will have several dedicated phone charging stations and there will be a colouring contest sponsored by Gerri’s Arts and Crafts in the Peterborough Square entrance at the corner of George and Simcoe streets.

Hey George!

George, King of Downtown, will also make a guest appearance at noon at the colouring station.

“There’s so much enthusiasm from the community for this event,” says Terry Guiel, Executive Director of the Downtown Business Improvement Area. “It’s great to see a video game that gets people outside and enjoying our beautiful city. This event is an opportunity to do something a little different, have some fun, and enjoy a summer Saturday afternoon downtown.”
