The Fireworks Show (known as the Fireworks Festival prior to Wild World) is event held regularly through summer in the Animal Crossing series. During a Fireworks Show, fireworks can be seen flying into the sky in the background and exploding in different colors, lighting up the ground and the insides of homes (when the player is inside them). On the day of a Fireworks Show it will never rain and the sky will always be clear. The Fireworks Show also has its own music.

Appearances

Doubutsu no Mori

In Doubutsu no Mori, a fireworks show is held at the town's lake every Saturday evening throughout August. Redd operates a stall selling Gyroids, airchecks and fruit. The fireworks can be seen reflected in the water throughout town.

Fireworks in Animal Crossing

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori, a fireworks show is held at the town's lake on July 4th, coinciding with Independence Day in the United States of America. Redd will set up a stall selling Gyroids, airchecks and fruit. The fireworks can be seen reflected in the water throughout town. These are the only games in which a fireworks show is not held during August.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, the fireworks once again occur every Saturday in August at 7:00 pm. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, it instead takes place every Sunday night in August, a change that was kept in later games. For the first time the fireworks can be seen in the sky, as the games use a different perspective from the previous titles in the series.

Tortimer will be situated outside the Town Hall, and will give the player either a Sparkler or a Roman Candle which can be equipped to shoot out sparks. Tortimer will usually only allow the player to receive two of each item a night, but if they pester him long enough, he might give out more. Tortimer may also give the player a fortune for the night in the form of mail that goes directly into their mail inventory.

A Fireworks Show in New Leaf

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the Fireworks Show continues to be held every Sunday in August. Isabelle hosts the festivities in the Event Plaza, handing out one of four bopper hats (Bulb, Flower, Heart, or Star) or a Fountain Firework, which can be placed on the ground to fire a shower of sparks. Villagers will clap as they observe the fireworks in the sky.

Players can submit a custom design to be used as a firework design during the show. The design will be mixed in with the regular fireworks, appearing randomly.

Redd operates a Cookie Stand in the plaza, where he will sell Redd's Cookies for 500 Bells. These can be eaten, and contain tickets that can be redeemed for items.

A Fireworks Show in New Horizons

While initially absent from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Fireworks Shows are added in Ver. 1.4.0 (Summer Update Wave 2) once again taking place each Sunday throughout August. As in New Leaf, Isabelle will give the player a random bopper hat when spoken to. On the day of a Fireworks show, Able Sisters will always sell a Morning-Glory Yukata.

Players can once again submit custom designs to Isabelle to be used as fireworks. Up to 10 designs can be submitted, and they will be launched in a specific order that can be configured by the player.

Redd operates a raffle stand in the event plaza, selling tickets for  500 Bells. The player can win handheld items such as sparklers, balloons, a pinwheel, tweeter, uchiwa fan, or a fountain firework.

Trivia

  • Some of the prizes Redd gives in exchange for prize tickets in New Leaf such as the Ultra Hand are products that Nintendo made before they went into the video game industry.
