The next update coming to Animal Crossing New Horizons is ACNH 1.7, which is set in late January. One of the confirmed events included in the ACNH January update is Festivale, it is teased by the appearance of Pave in the trailer of the winter update. What can we expect in ACNH Festivale 2021? In the ACNH Festivale event guide & update, we’ll bring the dates, furniture and clothing items, feathers, reactions and new features for Festivale in New Horizons.
Animal Crossing New Horizons Festivale Dates
Festivale is a Spring event first introduced in Animal Crossing City Folk and also available in New Leaf and New Horizons. It occurs in February or March and the actual date is varying in different years. In previous games, Animal Crossing Festivale often took place on the day before Mardi Gras in the real world, this year, ACNH Festivale update will come on February 15, 2021. Check out all the updated details about Festivale in the following content.
What we need to note is that the Festivale is probably time-locked in New Horizons, which acts similarly to Turkey Day and Toy Day, this means you can’t try to access the event through time travel, you can only get started until the real-world time arrives.
What Can You Do on Animal Crossing New Horizons Festivale Day
Pave is a peacock of green, yellow, purple, and turquoise coloration. He is the character who hosts Festivale, during the event, Pave shows off his colorful and bright feathers and dances through the entire celebration while rewarding players with limited time Animal Crossing items in exchange for feathers found around the town.
Festivale confetti - During the Festivale celebrations in previous AC games, the entire town is filled with colorful confetti that falls from the sky, there is a good chance this will return to New Horizons.
Festivale feathers - One of the mechanics of Festivale event in New Leaf is the colorful feathers that will be falling from the sky amongst the confetti, there are eight different colored feathers the players can get: red, pink, blue, green, yellow, white, purple, and rainbow. If you collect the correct number of the specific color of feathers requested by Pave, or catch rainbow feathers, Pave will reward you with a piece of furniture from the Pave series and a dance.
How to get feathers? - Feathers will be floating down from the sky on your island. Players have to catch feathers with a net, so you can stock up on some nets for catching more. Playing mini-games will make you win or lose feathers. Trading is a good idea if want to get right feathers.
Festivale mini games - Mini games were applied in both City Folk and New Leaf, rather than just hanging around the plaza or just referencing the holiday when chatting to them on your daily rounds, villagers often want to play one of the several mini-games with players. The past mini-games including Imaginary Soccer, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Coin Toss, Charades, Made Ya Look, and more. Playing mini-games makes the event feel more fun and immersive.
Update:
Festivale Reactions - A group of new reactions is released in the game, including Feelin’ It, Let’s Go, Viva, and Confetti. The Viva Festival Reaction Set can be purchased with Animal Crossing bells at Nook's Cranny.
