In the {{SER}}, '''events''' are occasions that differ from the standard gameplay experience and usually offer unique items. Events are often based on real-world holidays (often with a different name), and they are hosted by [[special character]]s. They can occur as often as four times a year or [[Leap Day|as rare as once every four years]] and are usually announced in the [[bulletin board]], [[town hall]], or [[Resident Services]].

In games prior to {{NH}}, many minor events occur throughout the year, where a special item is received by talking to a character. Additionally, in all games, larger events, such as [[Halloween]] and [[Toy Day]], occur more rarely and feature a unique character and a quest that can result in receiving items in a series of special furniture.

Attending events is optional, but some are triggered upon launching the game, when a special character asks the player to come with them for a brief moment. 

==Appearances==
===In {{DnM|nolink}} and {{PG|nolink}}===
:''See also: [[Events/Doubutsu no Mori|Events in {{DnM|nolink}}]] and [[Events/Animal Crossing|Events in {{PG|nolink}}]]''
{{DnM}} features relatively few events compared to its GameCube port, but includes major ones such as [[Halloween]] and [[Toy Day]]. {{DnM+}} adds several minor events, and the international versions replace many of the Japan-inspired events with new ones that would be more familiar to North American players, such as [[Groundhog Day]] and [[Labor Day]]. One major event, the [[Harvest Festival]], is exclusive to international versions.

Most minor events in {{PG}} are set up the same, with [[Tortimer]] appearing near the [[wishing well]] and giving the player an item themed around that event if spoken to, as well as offering some unique dialog for each event.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
:''See also: [[Events/Wild World|Events in {{WW|short|nolink}}]]''
{{WW}} removes all holiday-based events from the previous game (with the exception of the [[Countdown]] and [[New Year's Day]]) in favor of unique events like [[Yay Day]], [[La-Di-Day]], and [[Bright Nights]]. According to series creator [[Katsuya Eguchi]], this was because after the lengthy North American and European localizations for {{PG|nolink}}, the developers set out to remove region-specific events from the game to make the game understood worldwide.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Wired Staff|date=April 7, 2006|url=https://www.wired.com/2006/04/interview-the-w-2/|title=Interview: The Wild World of Katsuya Eguchi|site=Wired|retrieved=November 11, 2020}}</ref>

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
:''See also: [[Events/City Folk|Events in {{CF|short|nolink}}]]''
{{CF}} brings back many of the holiday-based events from {{PG|nolink}} while adding some, including several minor events and two new major events: [[Bunny Day]] and [[Festivale]]. Additionally, {{CF|short|nolink}} features region-exclusive events for North America, Europe, Japan, and Korea that can only be experienced if the player is in a town from a copy of the game from one of those regions.

The minor events in {{CF|short|nolink}} work mostly the same as in {{PG|nolink}}, with Tortimer telling the player about the event and giving them an exclusive item, though he is now located outside town hall.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
:''See also: [[Events/New Leaf|Events in {{NL|short|nolink}}]]''
{{NL}}'s events are mostly the same as in {{CF|nolink}}, with some minor events being added, as well as one major one: [[April Fool's Day]]. Minor events are celebrated in the [[event plaza]], where [[Isabelle]] will tell the player about the event and give them an exclusive item; sometimes, there is also a cardboard cutout in the plaza where the player can pose for a screenshot. Region-exclusive events return from {{CF|short|nolink}}.

{{NL|short|nolink}}'s {{NLWa|short}} update adds one new event, the [[Town Anniversary]], which is celebrated on the anniversary of the [[mayor]] moving to town.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
:''See also: [[Events/New Horizons|Events in {{NH|short|nolink}}]]''
{{NH}}, unlike previous games, did not have any events at release, with the exception of [[Fishing Tourney]]s, [[Bug-Off]]s, and the [[Countdown]]. Several events were subsequently added via updates, including [[Bunny Day]], [[Nature Day]], [[May Day]], [[International Museum Day]], [[Wedding Season]], [[Halloween]], [[Turkey Day]], [[Toy Day]], and [[Festivale]]. Several of the events do not take place on a single day, but rather across several weeks or a month. Minor events do not return from previous games, though some real-world events are celebrated through [[Nook Shopping seasonal event|Nook Shopping]], where the player can purchase an event-themed item for a set period of time.
