In Animal Crossing, the date you set is just as influential as the time of day. Depending on the current date, you might find a winter wonderland of snow on the ground, or a blazing hot summer sun in the sky.
Special events will occur on certain days, too: from New Year’s Day to Halloween, you’ll find the whole town celebrating seasonal proceedings, just like people do in real life. Seasons also affect things like the appearance of insects and deep-sea catches—check the “Calendar” chapter to quickly see what’s happening in the days ahead!
