Summer has many events that vary throughout the games.

First Saturday of every month (except Augsut) in Wild World or Fourth Sunday of every month (except August) in City Folk
Players can visit villager's homes and buy selected items of furniture. Likewise, villagers can visit the player's house and buy items from them, at a price set by the player.

There's a fee of 500 Bells per run, but during online play the fee is waivered. The competition lasts from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, of which after a certain point threshold the players will receive a trophy in their mailbox. Players can also redeem points for "fish swag".
Third Saturday of June, July, August, and September
Nat (or Tortimer in Wild World), the bug expert, will set up a stall outside Town Hall and will challenge the player and other villagers to catch the most interesting insect in terms of color, luster, size and rarity using a point system. The competition ends at 6:00 PM, whereupon the winner will receive a gold trophy. A notice will be put up on the bulletin board.
Fourth Saturday of June, July, August, and September (Northern Hemisphere) or Third Saturday of November, December, January, and February (Southern Hemisphere)

There's a fee of 500 Bells per run, but during online play the fee is waivered. The competition lasts from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, of which after a certain point threshold the players will receive a trophy in their mailbox. Players can also redeem points for rewards relating to bug-related items.
Throughout summer
Animals may visit the player's town during the summer months to camp out for a while. If the player talks to them they may give out some Camping Gear. But, to earn it, they have to play a game.
June
Harvey will ask the player to take anniversary photos of Reese and Cyrus's wedding in Harv's Island. Players are rewarded with heart crystals which can be used to purchase wedding furniture from Cyrus.
June
Childrens across the world are celebrated during Children Day. Nook Shopping will offer a handmade crown and a handmade cape.
Third Sunday of June or the entire month of June in New Horizons
Fathers across the world are celebrated. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, a letter from Dad will arrive in the mail, including a red carnation. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nook Shopping will allow the player to purchase a Thank-you-dad mug.
June 21st
The longest day in the player's town. It is said some areas of the town has the sun set past midnight. Tortimer stands outside the town hall. He will give the player an espresso maker.

Once it has been stamped 14 times, the player will receive a special aerobics radio, to perform the exercises in their own homes. (Copper needs to be spoken to after each event). If the player tilts the C stick on the GameCube controller in different directions while near the aerobics radio, they can actually do aerobics.
Every Sunday of August
The Sunday nights come alive in the town with a fireworks display. A sparkler can be obtained by talking to Tortimer. In New Leaf and New Horizons, Isabelle will give the player special items in the Plaza. Redd will also be there to sell special fortune cookies in New Leaf or raffles in {{NH|short|nolink} for items.

Tom Nook will also sell either New Year's Hats or New Year's Silk Hats. The clock counts down the seconds till midnight and is adorned with the town's flag and flashing lights. In the final hour before the new year, villagers will talk about their past year, and the music will change several times, building in tension in the last minute with a beep for every second. After midnight, fireworks will go off in the sky and residents will wish the player a Happy New Years.

Weather

File:Early-SummerForecast.jpg
A bulletin announcing the arrival of warmer weather and the rainy season.

The weather in summer is mainly sunny with the possibility of rainfall towards the end of June/early July. The sunshine allows for the player to receive a tan when stood outside for long periods of time without holding an umbrella.

File:Mid-SummerForecast.jpg
A bulletin announcing the end of the rainy season and the beginning of the hot, sunny season.

During the end of June, heavy rainfall and thunderstorms will appear with lightning, creating sudden bursts of light on the ground. On the 1st of July, an announcement on the bulletin board will tell villagers and the player in town that the end of the heavy rain is approaching, making way for heavier sunny periods. Through the first part of July, it is muggy and rainy, much like the second half of June. In the second half of July, it is hot and dry. July is one of the hottest months in the summer. In August, it's usually humid and neighbors will complain about the "stickyness". It will sometimes rain, but when it does its usually around the end of the day or the afternoon. In July, neighbors will complain it is too hot. The trees and the grass will turn into a deeper or darker shade of green.
