Capitalizing on the popularity of Pokémon Go, a Toronto-based bar called Sneaky Dee's is hosting a Nintendo Dance Party and cosplay contest. Timed to coincide with Fan Expo Canada, the event will give video game fans a place to let loose and potentially pick up some rare Pokémon.
Sneaky Dee's Nintendo Dance Party is set to take place on September 3rd, which falls during the middle of Fan Expo Canada. The event will celebrate the original Pokémon game with some 90s tunes and "enough video game music to make Satoru Iwata jealous." In addition to the dance party, there will also be a cosplay contest with prizes for the best Pokémon-themed outfits.
While Sneaky Dee's is already known as one of Toronto's go-to PokéStops, now fans will have a whole new reason to visit the famous bar.
