Although Father's Day does not appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a standard event, it appears as a Nook Shopping seasonal event beginning in the 1.2.0 April Free Update. From June 1 to 30, the player can purchase the thank-you Dad mug and the thank-you Dad apron from Nook Shopping.

Recurrence[edit]

In Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the date of Father's Day is dependent on the region of the game (North American, Japan, or European). For the European releases of these games, it is further dependent on the language the game is being played in (which changes based on the Wii/Nintendo 3DS system language settings). Father's Day is not present in the Korean versions of City Folk and New Leaf; Teacher's Day takes its place.

  • North America: Third Sunday of June
  • Japan: Third Sunday of June
