August is currently said to be a pretty slow month with no events. We are in the middle of July, almost head to August, actually, there is an August update, as well as a 1.11 update, which is coming to Animal Crossing New Horizons soon. Here is the ACNH August update 2021 guide highlighting the August events, items, and critters that we know about but are not yet available in the game.
ACNH August Summer Update 2021 - New Seasonal Events, Items & Critters In Animal Crossing Update
The final ACNH item is the rodeo-style springy ride in honor of the Brazilian Cowboy Festival event. This seasonal event was back in Animal Crossing New Horizons and will be started from July 15 to August 15. Rodeo-style springy ride distributed through the nook stop item is still available through to August 15. However, this marks the end of all of the content that was added in the April update.
