Nintendo of America is bringing the Pikmin franchise to Music City this October with the Nashville Pikmin Gathering, a month-long series of activations taking place across downtown Nashville.
The event coincides with ongoing support for the Pikmin brand across Nintendo platforms and the mobile Pikmin Bloom experience, developed by Niantic in collaboration with Nintendo and released on October 26, 2021.
Throughout October, attendees can expect Pikmin-themed installations and activations at multiple downtown locations.
Nintendo of America said participants will encounter Pikmin throughout the downtown area to encourage exploration of some of the city's best-known destinations.
In addition to physical installations, the Pikmin Bloom mobile app will host a free interactive Mini Walk in the downtown area for players with compatible smartphones.
The activation includes a Halloween-focused giveaway on October 31.
Nintendo has confirmed the first 500 attendees wearing officially licensed Pikmin costumes or merchandise who are spotted at the pop-up tent in Walk of Fame Park on October 31 between 10 a.m.
CT and 5 p.m.
CT will receive a small Pikmin-themed giveaway.
Nintendo clarified the giveaway is limited to one per person while supplies last.
Visitors can also earn digital rewards during event hours.
Nintendo has stated that checking in with a Nintendo Account while at the event will grant 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points, with a limit of one award per account for the entirety of the activation.
Attendees who use the Nintendo Store app to check in may receive an event-themed digital wallpaper.
Nintendo requires a persistent internet connection and compatible smart device for app features; Pikmin Bloom is free to start with optional in-app purchases.
The Nashville Pikmin Gathering adds a live, local element to a franchise that has an active presence on Nintendo hardware.
The Pikmin series has continued on Nintendo Switch with Pikmin 3 Deluxe (released October 30, 2020) and Pikmin 4 (released July 21, 2023), both developed by Nintendo EPD and published by Nintendo.
This Nashville activation underscores Nintendo's use of both mobile and console platforms to engage fans with in-person events and digital rewards.
For attendees: bring a compatible smartphone for Pikmin Bloom features, sign in with your Nintendo Account to collect My Nintendo Platinum Points during the event, and note the Halloween giveaway window and supply limits.
Terms apply for reward redemptions and app use.
