Changes coming to Animal Crossing in August

#5. Fireworks and seasonal events

Fireworks have been a common seasonal event in Animal Crossing. Many seasonal events are recurring and the fireworks festival is a classic event for many Animal Crossing players. There are, however, other seasonal events scheduled for the month of August. Some more are scheduled for September, but in August, the Obon Festival, a brand new addition, will run from August 10th-16th. The fireworks will be revamped and have new items: popsicles, cotton candy and fruit tea.
