Last update: 12 November 2021
In this section of our game guide to Animal Crossing you will find a complete list of all regular events that occur in the game.
There's something going on in Animal Crossing New Horizons throughout the whole calendar year. Every month we can take part in fishing competitions, insect catching events or various festivals and celebrations.
