Magic Island Transformed into a Summer Resort... Expect Pikachu to Appear All Over the Tropical Island [Weekend Leisure]

Lotte World will hold the summer season festival 'Pokemon World Adventure: Summer Festa' from July 7 to August 31.

This festival, following last spring, is the second season festival presented in collaboration with Pokemon, and it is conducted with the concept of traveling to a tropical island with Pikachu for the summer vacation.

Lotte World has prepared new and unique Pokemon content for this festival, and the festival venue has been expanded not only indoors but also to the outdoor Magic Island.

New performances and events featuring Pokemon have also been prepared. On the first floor parade course of Adventure, 'Summer Festa with Pokemon' will be held twice a day only on weekends and holidays. In this performance, which opens with a cool vacation concept, eight hula dance Pikachus appear to offer exciting dances.

Also, on the second floor of Adventure at Barcelona Square, 'Smile with Pikachu' photo time will be held three times a day on weekdays and twice a day on weekends and holidays, allowing you to take pictures with lovely Pikachus.

Meanwhile, during this festival period, Magic Island transforms into an exotic resort. First, near the Moon Boat boarding area at Lake Garden, you can meet Pokemon enjoying their summer vacation, such as Snorlax sunbathing on a tube and dancing Pikachu. After sunset, various Pokemon enjoying their summer vacation are mapped against the backdrop of a tropical island on Magic Castle, allowing you to enjoy a different atmosphere than during the day.

You can also encounter samba content to blow away the heat. On the first floor of Adventure at the Meeting Plaza, 'Big Loti' and friends dressed in colorful samba costumes are available for exotic atmosphere photos, and the opposite photo zone is decorated with colorful tropical rainforests for unique summer outing snapshots.

The 'Samba Carnival Parade', which has been loved for its spectacular sights and exciting music every year, also returns. This parade, held twice daily on the first floor parade course of Adventure, features the Goddess of the Sun and passionate samba dancers, raising the festival atmosphere to the fullest.

Also, from July 5, 'Samba Together' and 'Samba Step School', featuring various dance genres such as samba, lambada, and salsa, will be held daily at the Garden Stage, boosting the excitement of customers visiting Lotte World.
