The Meteor Shower is an event that occurs on August 12th in Animal Crossing and randomly in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Appearances
In Animal Crossing
The event occurs from 6 PM to 9 PM on August 12th. At this time, the player can go to the town lake to watch the Meteor Shower. During the event, Tortimer will give the player a telescope for attending the event. During this event, the meteors can only be seen reflected through the lake, since the player cannot see the sky.
In Wild World
There are no Meteor Showers, but meteors may appear randomly between 7 PM and 4 AM in the sky, regardless of weather. The player can wish on these stars if they press 'A' while the meteor is on screen and are not holding a tool or umbrella. This will cause a Spotlight Item to be sent to the player's mailbox from "Wishy the Star" the next day.
In City Folk
The Bulletin Board will have a message about the Meteor Shower the day it occurs, which is completely random. This time, Meteor Showers are completely cosmetic—players cannot wish upon the stars and do not gain anything by watching them.
In New Leaf
The Meteor Shower returns in New Leaf, appearing on random days when the weather is clear. They do not appear on the following dates:
- April 1 - 10
- June 16 - July 5
- December 10
- December 24 - 30
A note will appear on the town's signboard between 10 and 11 AM on the day of the shower. As with Wild World, the player can wish upon a star, which is done by pressing 'A' upon hearing the twinkling sound of a shooting star. If a wish is made, the next day, a letter will appear in the mail from "Wishy the Star" with a piece of rare furniture.
