===Events and holidays===

Several new holidays were introduced in 1.2.0.

 

====Nature Day====

[[Nature Day]] makes its return as a method to obtain additional [[Nook Miles]]. [[Tom Nook]] will offer bonus [[Nook Miles]]+ objectives for the player to achieve, and after completing the first Nature Day-related task a DIY recipe for a {{I|hedge|NH}}.

 

 

[[May Day]] is a new event that runs from May 1 to May 7, where the player must traverse through a maze utilizing much of the game mechanics of {{NH|short|nolink}}. At the end of the maze, [[Rover]] will greet the player, and offer {{I|Rover's briefcase|NH}} as an award. {{I|Bell voucher|NH}}s are also dispersed throughout the maze.

 

This event is time-locked, and only unlocks on 1.2.xa.

 

 

[[File:NH Stamp Rally.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Blathers telling the player about International Museum Day]]

[[International Museum Day]] is a new event that runs from May 18 to May 31. During the event, the player should explore around the [[museum]] across the bug, fish, and fossil exhibits for the location of stamp rallies. Once the player obtains all the stamps in one exhibit, [[Blathers]] will offer the respective plaque as an award to the player: {{I|bug plaque|NH}} for the bug exhibit, {{I|fish plaque|NH}} for the fish exhibit, and {{I|fossil plaque|NH}} for the fossil exhibit.

 

 

 

[[File:NH Update 2 Wedding Photo.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Cyrus and Reese being taken a wedding photo by the player.]]

[[Wedding Season]] is a new event that runs through the entirety of June, and primarily takes place on [[Harv's Island]]. [[Reese]] and [[Cyrus]] asks the player to take a photoshoot using related wedding furniture, in exchange for {{I|heart crystal|NH}}s to be sold for [[Wedding Series]].

 

After a few days, the player can invite their own villagers or special characters to participate in a makeshift party, and the player is rewarded from [[Harvey]] a recipe for a {{I|wedding fence|NH}} and from Cyrus a recipe for a {{I|wedding wand|NH}}. The player can continue to play in the event until the end of June, and Reese will challenge the player by using different wedding themes for their photo.

This event is time-locked, and only unlocks on 1.2.xc.
