Gotta Catch 'Em All: Pokémon Fall Festival Coming To White Marsh Mall

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Attention, all Pokémon fans: A special event will take place next month at White Marsh Mall at no cost to attendees.

The team behind Glen Burnie-based Feel Good Gaming will take over White Marsh Mall to host its Fall Fest Pokémon Card Show.

The mall, located at 8200 Perry Hall Blvd., will host the event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 21-22.

Residents who want to participate will find a mix of activities designed with the whole family in mind.

Festivities include giveaways, scavenger hunts, dozens of tables featuring Pokémon cards and collectibles, as well as the chance to donate to the Maryland Food Bank and meet some adoptable pets.

"Whether you’re a seasoned collector chasing that next big card, a young Trainer starting your Pokémon journey, or a family looking for a fun and free day out, there's something for everyone," reads an event announcement.

Don't expect the event to be like the run-of-the-mill card show.

Rather than focusing solely on the world of trading cards and the exclusivity such shows attract, organizers Kevin Groves and Evan Lipshultz focus on creating a more family-focused festival that uplifts communities.

Earlier this year, Groves and Lipshultz barred scalpers who price out younger fans from their events and haven't looked back.

"We're here to disrupt the card space — really, the card show world, and I hope that other people see what we do and can start copying us 'cause they should," Groves previously told Patch.

Residents who want a preview of what Feel Good Gaming has to offer can attend the Halloween Fest planned at Marley Station Mall in Glen Burnie. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 24 and Oct. 25.
