Fireworks in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Every year in August, Animal Crossing gets a fireworks show, and this year is no different. There are, however, some new additions to the fireworks show that came with the 1.11 update, which was finally released at the end of July. The update brought new items, including cotton candy, popsicles and fruit teas.

Each Sunday will see fireworks shows in the month of August from 7 PM to 12 AM. The timing is the same for both Northern and Southern Hemipshere Animal Crossing players. With the fireworks festival, there are custom designs, Redd's Raffle and more. Here's everything about fireworks in Animal Crossing.

One of the cool things players can do at these festivals is watch their own custom designs shoot off into the night sky. The way for Animal Crossing players to achieve this is simple: talk to Isabelle before the show. Prior to 7 PM, Isabelle will be taking custom designs from players to showcase at the fireworks show. Players can create up to 10 custom designs that will be shown off at the festival.

These custom designs will be shown off early in the show - shortly after 7 PM. They will also go in the order players have selected them in. Therefore, keep that in mind when choosing the order of fireworks with Isabelle. The fireworks last for exactly five hours.

In order to receive a free item for the fireworks show, players simply need to find and talk to Isabelle after the show begins. She will award them with a bopper hat, which she wears in the image below.
