In Animal Crossing New Horizons, seasonal events are referred to as the holidays and festivals celebrated on our island to keep the game fresh over the whole year by adding new collectible items for players. Are you curious to find out all the ACNH seasonal items and events we can expect in each month of 2022? In this Animal Crossing New Horizons guide, let's discover!
Each season has its own colors and atmospheres, but also its own events. Some of them we can relive several times over a year, while others only on some occasions. What events are we talking about?
On our island of Animal Crossing: New Horizons we will never get bored: the events of the past games, in fact, make their return even in the last title of the series. Every year we will be able to take part in many new events that celebrate some holidays spread all over the world. But not only that: some have been inserted into the game in order to allow players to have fun both alone and with friends via internet connection.
Some of these events are repeated several times over the course of a year. We are talking about some competitions, such as the Fishing Tourney and Bug Off, but also about events that we can attend depending on the season of the year in which we find ourselves. In any case, they are all anniversaries that allow us to fully live our life on the island.
In addition, there are also events that have been inserted later in the game and in which we can participate after downloading the update that introduces them. Seasonal events are part of this group, such as the Festivale and the Toy Day. In order to welcome the holiday on our island, we must also have met some particular requirements.
