Today may well be a day full of elaborate - and really frustrating - April Fools' Day pranks, but it's also the day that brings us our very first seasonal event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
As shown in the recent Nintendo Direct Mini, Bunny Day kicks off today and will be live in-game right up until 12th April. To join in with all the fun, you'll need to make sure you've downloaded the latest game update available (simply hover over the game's icon on the Switch home screen and press '+' to check for updates) and that you have a Nintendo Account linked to your Switch user profile.
The event only comes around once per year, so you should probably make sure to squeeze in some game time over the next couple of weeks. We've already been exploring everything the event has to offer to provide you with a full guide including all the eggs, furniture, clothing, and more you can unlock. Make sure to check that out if you don't want to miss anything.
Will you be checking in to your island for some Bunny Day relaxation? Tell us below.

@KoopaTheQuick you are the second person I have seen say this today 🤣. I had to close my software and restart to get him to appear but looking forward to this event. I was unsure how much I would enjoy AC but really do love it.
most creepy character ever for sure lol
funny though.
Sorry, i still haven't get the game yet. 😩
Goodbye seasonal events...
Btw, will i celebrate Easter in Autumn season if my hemisphere is South ?
so is Bunny Day an event that can be accessed once by playing from now til the 12th or an event that occurs each day from now til the 12th?
Alright calm down,
here's your Smash Bros. Happy Bunny Day stage:

@3Daniel Every day until the 12th.
Between now and the 12th there are eggs hidden all over the island and also DIY recipes for egg based items. If you're able to get the entire Bunny Day set built by the actual Bunny Day you apparently get a special prize.
@Donald_M thank you. I'm still working irl and I have my K.K. Slider concert, a new resident, a ceremony for a bridge and now Bunny Day to get thru tonight when I get home.
Zipper look a LOT like something from 5 Nights at Freddie's.
@Anti-Matter What?
I managed to get some eggs out of the sky, water, rocks, trees and earth. There has to be more because I put hardly any effort and still got what seemed like a decent amount of eggs, overall.
@Anti-Matter No, Easter is at Easter everywhere in the world on the same date, just like Christmas. If you have an island in the southern hemisphere Christmas will be in summer and Easter will be in autumn.
Anyone else NOT having that bunny day event? I am on the latest update, account linked and whatever, but no bunny to be seen. Cherry blossoms, new insects, but those eggs are nowhere for me...
@Anti-Matter You can always change the clock, and see if you can access past events once you finally get the game
Cant seem to get update 1.1.1a to get bunny day to launch. Anyone else having this issue?
@adzix I had to close my software and restart it for it to kick in today, when I first logged on he wasn’t there.
You can get more eggs from doing Mystery Island Tours hence how I was able to get more stone, leaf, & earth eggs.
@Acidtiger Try pushing + on the Switch menu while you have Animal Crossing selected and go to software update. Also make sure your switch has room for the update.
@adzix Newest version is 1.1.1a
@KoopaTheQuick
I KNOW! I was going to fish at pier and he (?) kept hopping closer and closer....
Why are there so many weeds in that screenshot? Somebody fire that Island Representative!
@Grandiajet Thanks for the mental image, I now feel obligated to flee when I see this creepy bunny for fear it will try to thrust me in a deadly bunny costume
Living my best Bunny Day life.
6 types of eggs - shake'em, shoot'em, fish'em, dig'em, chop'em, whack'em (rocks). None of which can be done with motion controls.
I picked a bad day to have the new room appear on my house, a camper visit, and Mabel wanting a store, and I think Nintendo did a bad job having April 1 and Bunny Day converge, while chasing down eggs I think I caught 5 new fish and 5 new insects just this morning plus the 6 eggs and about 6 egg DIY recipes. Bunny Day starting April 12 would have given me time just to enjoy catching pink petals. So my usual morning hour turned into 4 hours. Which was fun and all, but I and Nintendo probably could have spread it out better.
I haven't even taken a plane flight to a new island yet today and still got about a dozen of each egg type. The sun was out, the breeze was blowing, balloon gifts were everywhere. I lost 2 in a river and 1 in the ocean just this morning. I hate when that happens.
Enjoy Bunny Day everyone. 🐇💐🐰🐞
Oh, that's a dirty April Fool's prank Nintendo...inviting an ugly bunny to everyone's island.
its called easter.
I’m pretty sure that’s Mr. Resetti in a costume. He stops hopping if you walk away and gets mad if you try to touch the zipper.
Happy bunny day!!
Its a pain in the neck. Ive been collecting eggs for about 3 hours but im going to need so many for the recipes ive got already not to mention the rabbit telling me more and more will drop closer to the 12th. Ive got no hope in crafting all of them let alone finding each recipe. Im bound to miss one at least.
