From Apr. 23 to May. 4, the Nature Day event will be going on in New Horizons. Nature Day coincides with the real-life event of Earth Day, which happens the day before on Apr. 22. It’s a time to celebrate the great outdoors, and you receive a discount as a Nook Miles+ member to receive five times the Nook Miles rewards during this event. There’s also May Day happening from May 1 to May 7, featuring a special island tour players can partake at Dodo Airlines.

For those who are busy working on completing your museum, you now have a brand new addition to your hard work. Alongside your bugs, fish, and fossils, you can now collect paintings in the game. You can choose to collect these paintings by visiting one of the new merchants coming to the game, Redd, who brings a boat to your island called the Treasure Traveler that docks on the side to sell you paintings and furniture. The other new merchant is Leif, who sells you azaleas.

From Jun. 1 to Jun. 30, it’s wedding season. There will be special wedding-based items available in the game, such as unique flowers, outfits, church benches with decorations, and much more. These items will be available for you to acquire throughout June.

New Horizons has plenty in store for eager island residents to continue to enjoy the many activities on the island. You can expect to hear more about each of these events once they become available, and there’s always something left for you to do on your island.
