There's a fun little  April Fools' Day event called "What's That Poké Ball?" in Pokémon Go today that runs until midnight (local time). The in-game description of the event is simply, "Poké Balls are appearing on the map!"

Mega Absol Raid Day runs from 2PM to 5PM local time on Sunday, March 23, 2025.
