The Autumn Moon (known as the Harvest Moon Festival prior to Animal Crossing: City Folk) is an event in the Animal Crossing series that occurs in either September or October.

The date of this event varies each year, as it occurs on the date of the full moon closest to the September Equinox.

Appearances

In Doubutsu no Mori

In Doubutsu no Mori, there are two moon festivals, during which the moon's reflection can be seen in the lake while villagers stand and watch. The first, the Harvest Moon (中秋の名月 Chūshū no meigetsu?) occurs on the 15th night of the eighth month of lunar calendar. The second, the Night of the Thirteenth Moon (十三夜の月 Jūsan'ya no tsuki?), occurs on the 13th night of the ninth lunar month.

In Doubutsu no Mori+

In Doubutsu no Mori+ (the Japanese version of Animal Crossing), the dates from Doubutsu no Mori are the same, but Tortimer will also appear by the lake to give the player a gift. On the Harvest Moon Festival he will give a Tsukimi Dango, and on the Night of the Thirteenth Moon he will give a Moon.

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+

In Animal Crossing and and Doubutsu no Mori e+, there is only one Harvest Moon Festival which occurs depending on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Tortimer will give the player a Moon if spoken to.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the Autumn Moon festival varies depending on the player's (or current host's) region. In the North American and European versions of the game, it is referred to as the Autumn Moon, while in the Japanese version, the event is referred to as Tsukimi (お月見 Otsukimi?).

Tortimer can be seen near the Town Hall from 6 AM to 12 AM. He will give the player a gift that is different for each region.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Isabelle is present in the Plaza from 6 AM to 12 AM, and she will give the player a gift that is different for each region. The standee in the plaza is also different between regions. In Japanese versions, it is a table with dango on that is being overlooked by a mountain and a moon. In the North American version, it's a scarecrow in a farm field overlooking the Autumn Moon.

In the Japanese version, the event is referred to as Tsukimi (お月見 Otsukimi?), while the Korean version refers to it as Chuseok (추석 Chuseok).

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons

While the Autumn Moon does not appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a standard event, it appears as a Nook Shopping seasonal event from September 12 to September 21[nb 6] as Moon-Viewing Day in which the player can purchase the Dango, the Moon Cakes, and the Moon Rug from Nook Shopping[nb 7].
