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.
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 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 with a piece of rare furniture.
In New Horizons
Tom Nook or Isabelle will note a meteor shower's occurrence in the morning announcements the day of the event. That night, Celeste can be found wandering around the island. When talked to, she will instruct the player how to wish upon shooting stars and give them a DIY recipe for a Wand. The player may wish on shooting stars by putting away any items, panning the camera up, then pressing 'A' when a shooting travels across the sky. This will cause a unique animation where the player closes their eyes, clasps their hands together, and makes a wish. The shooting star shines a bit brighter as a wish is made. The player may not wish on more than one star at once, but they may press A in succession when there are multiple stars in the sky.
If the player makes any wishes, the next day, star fragments will appear on the island's beaches. The amount that appears depends on how many wishes the player made the previous night. There are three varieties of star fragments of increasing rarity: small, large, and astrology-correlated (the type changes depending on the date of the meteor shower; i.e., a meteor shower on April 24th may spawn Taurus Fragments the next day). The player may pick these up for use in DIY recipes.
