Fireworks festival is coming back from 2020 and hence newcomers will be able to enjoy another great event they missed last year. Moreover, make sure to collect some brand new Redd’s Raffle items, including Cotton Candy, a Popsicle, and Bubble Tea.

Critters

Nintendo migrates bugs, fishes, and sea creatures in New Horizons on a monthly basis. The fall season will arrive soon for northern hemisphere players in September and thus, we may see some critters departing from users’ islands.

The northern and southern hemisphere players have different patterns. Luckily, southern hemisphere players will see no bugs and fishes leaving their island while northern hemisphere players will see a few. The northern hemisphere players will see seven critters arriving on their island while southern players will only encounter one.

Change in Islands aesthetics in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

We will not see a lot of changes in the aesthetics of the islands till September. Bushes will remain the same for the hemispheres, while red and yellow hibiscus will bloom in the northern hemisphere.

In addition to that, red and pink camellia bushes will bloom in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, southern hemisphere players will not see Auroras after August 24 appearing on their islands.

Seasonal celebrations and items

Nintendo is also introducing some new seasonal events for players with the recent update. First is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which will offer players items like Orihime and Hikoboshi outfits. The events will last from August 5 to August 14.

The second is Obon, which will take place from August 10 to August 16. It will offer items like Eggplant Cow and Cucumber Horse.

The Bug-off event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Bug-Off events took place on the fourth Saturday of every month during the summer. As northern hemisphere players are still encountering the summer season, they can still take part in the Bug-off on August 28.

This is a great opportunity to get your hands on one of the three Bug-off trophies and some limited-time items. The Bug-off will be the third and final event for the northern hemisphere and will return next year. Players can get limited items like Bug cage and Bug Wand through the event.
