If you use Time Travel on Animal Crossing New Horizons, in order to speed up or rewind time, then you are probably already aware that a brand new seasonal item has been added to the game since the big November 2.0 update. 2021. This update not only allowed players to discover an abundance of new content, such as Astrid, the Kitchen, Robusto and its Café or even new inhabitants, but also to take advantage of a range of new objects to decorate their islands. If the list of these objects in question was revealed on the day of the update, thanks to dataminers, some may have gone unnoticed because of their "rarity". And by rarity, I mean being available only at a specific time of year.
So, although ACNH will never be updated again (content-wise anyway), players who don't use Time Travel can take advantage of some nice little updates in 2022, thanks to seasonal events.
The Tomato Festival in 2022: a novelty not to be missed!
Unlike previous Animal Crossing installments, the Switch version doesn't offer any special events per se in the town square. (RIP the groundhog party). That said, players can take advantage of many seasonal items to buy directly in the "temporary items" section of Nook Shopping , the application available on the Nookphone or on the Residents' Office terminal.
Thanks to the last big update of the game, new articles have been added to the game (see second part of the article) but a new party has also been added for the month of August! This is the Tomato Festival. By logging in between August 20 and August 31 , you can then obtain this adorable exclusive T-shirt:
