The first Animal Crossing game
The franchise began on April 14, 2001, with the release of the Japanese video game Dobutsu no Mori for the Nintendo 64. It was enhanced and re-released again for the GameCube as Dobutsu no Mori+ which released internationally as Animal Crossing. The series released four more games with New Horizons as the most recent title for the Nintendo Switch.
The possibility of an event to the celebrate the anniversary is almost slim to none. Even though it’s one of the major anniversaries of the franchise, Nintendo haven’t really made a big deal for the series’ previous anniversaries. The chances of this celebration decreases heavily if the developers decide to not have an event for New Horizon’s first anniversary on March 20.

Possible surprises for the Anniversary
Although an event almost looks impossible at this stage, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any surprises. Even a year after its release, the game still misses a lot of its iconic characters from the previous games, such as Rover and Resetti. It would be a fitting opportunity for the developers to re-introduce these characters on any of the upcoming anniversaries.
If the developers want an inspiration for holding an event like this, they can always go the Pocket Camp route. The mobile game was a spinoff from the original series, and they always have the best anniversary events. Their events are not subtle or minimal, and they always go all-out.

It will be interesting to see if the developers ever decide to do that for any of the mainline games. If they do, there will not be a better opportunity than this.
