Summer Solstice Event in Animal Crossing is a special event that celebrates equality between the day and night. It was firstly introduced in the Animal Crossing New Leaf series. In this post, we will tell you more about the Animal Crossing Summer Solstice Event.
Summer Solstice Event firstly appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and then in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The event occurs on June 21st in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has a much longer range in Animal Crossing: New Horizons from June 6th to July 6th.
Like any other event in Animal Crossing, Summer Solstice is different in the different parts of the game. We will briefly share with you details on these differences below taken from wiki.
Summer Solstice in Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The event marks the longest day of the year, in which the weather is sunny throughout the day, and remains so during the night, and the sun doesn’t set. This phenomenon is known as the Midnight sun. A face cut-out board, fit for two players and featuring a field of sunflowers, appears next to Isabelle in the town plaza, if there’s an event on the plaza, Isabelle will be in the front of the town hall. Despite the constant sunlight, nighttime bugs still appear. In addition, the Island has separate weather from the town and so appears dark at night, rather than having extended daylight.
When speaking to the player, Isabelle will say “Hello, Mayor! Today is the Summer Solstice, so don’t expect to see the moon at all tonight!” (Other dialogue available in the dialogue section). She will also give the player a pair of ladder shades. Isabelle remains in the town plaza whilst the event is running, therefore leaving the town hall and its functions inaccessible for the day. Throughout the Summer Solstice, Isabelle can be seen wearing a sky blue T-shirt with a sunflower pattern on it.
