Edit @ 19:49: Pokémon GO Fest as an event was hit with many communication errors preventing people from playing at the event itself. Due to this, according to numerous reports from people at the event, Niantic have announced that they will be offering refunds and $100 of PokéCoins to all people who attended the event. It's currently unclear what is going to happen regarding the in-game bonuses and Legendary Pokémon at this time
Edit @ 20:24: Niantic have confirmed that the increased spawns at GO Fest will be widened to 2 miles for the duration of the weekend to allow players to get the increased and rare Pokémon if they attended the event. Players who did not attend the event will not get the increased Pokémon spawns and Pokémon Egg drops

Edit @ 22:46: Lugia is unlocked and will be available in Raid Battles worldwide in the next 48 hours. All GO Fest attendees will receive a Lugia
