The (Japanese: サンダー祭り Thunder Festival) is a small annual festival, held in Ikazuchi Town.

According to local legend, long ago, a thunderstorm caused by the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos caused a large tree in the center of town to split in two. To the townsfolk's surprise, after being burnt by Zapdos's electricity, the tree grew taller than it even had before, and bore many fruit. Since that day, the people of Ikazuchi Town have held the Zapdos Festival, in the hopes that Zapdos would visit again to bless the town with fertility. According to Clemont, the festival also celebrates Electric-type Pokémon.

The Zapdos Festival was depicted in the anime episode An Electrifying Rage!.
