Harvest Moon Festival, known as Autumn Moon in PAL regions and Tsukimi in Japan, is a typical event in the previous Animal Crossing series, celebrated in City Folk and New Leaf. How does the Animal Crossing Harvest Moon Festival work in past games?
During the Animal Crossing Harvest Festival, the player can visit Tortimer to receive a model of the Moon and stand near the pond and stare at the Moon's reflection on the water. In City Folk, the Harvest Moon Festival is called Autumn Moon in the US and European versions of the game and Moon Viewing Festival in Japanese regional games. The celebration starts from 6 AM to 12 AM.
In New Leaf, Isabelle will stand in the Plaza on that day and tell players there will be an Autumn Moon at night, players can receive a free item from her, the item varies depending on the player's region. In North American games, she gives a wheat bundle. In European games, she gives a veggie basket. There's also a face-cutout standee that depicts a scarecrow in a wheat field with the Autumn Moon in the background. In the Japanese version of AC, the face-cutout standee features a table with dango, and a rolling mountain in the background, with a large moon, where the player can pose for pictures.
