Summer and Winter Solstice

An event for the Summer and Winter Solstice has been found in the code by dataminers. All we know is that it starts on June 7th (Summer for North and Winter for South). Will be adding more info once we know exactly what it entails.

Thanks to @mirukushake, we now know that both the crown and sweater are available through the Nook Shopping Specials tab for all players no matter the hemisphere you're playing in! This indicates that the Winter and Summer Solstice do not have a focus event.

Summer Solstice
  • Summer-solstice Crown

Winter Solstice

Wedding Season

It's the event most have been patiently waiting for! Cyrus and Reese is bringing us some wedding themed furniture set. I've looked into how the event runs and it seems pretty interactive, more so than the events we've had so far. I won't go into detail how it runs, but make sure you go to Harvey's island everyday for the month of June.

There's 3 variation of the wedding sets: Cute, Chic, and Garden. The furniture can be customized into the other variations.
Credit to @Rosch for adding more detail here! HC = Heart Crystals

That's pretty much our line up for June as far as we officially know of. I know many users have been experiencing a drop of activity in game. Will the arrival of a new season and a big event tie you over till the next update? What are you looking forward to the most? I'll no doubt will be very busy in game for the next 30 days with these things alone. The world is slowly getting back to normalcy, with people going back to work, players might experience less burn out now that we'll be spacing out our playtime. It'll feel like we'll have plenty to do for the meantime.

Plus, we may get an announcement of an update soon, usually around the time E3 would be happening. It's not 100% for certain, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Wow! That is a lot of items for wedding season. I hope the event is fun!

And I cannot wait for the seashell stuff. Shell Pouchette, here I come!

I wonder what other events we have in June. A bug catching event, correct?

Oh yes, I forgot about Bug Off! That’s happening on the 27th for Northern Hemisphere players. There’s some pretty awesome rewards for participating in that event as well. Definitely lots to do in June for sure. ^^
 
I'm in Asia, so I did the Wedding event earlier this morning. It's super cute! I would probably like it even more if I was creative, but it's still fun haha. And you do need to actually go every day to do it; you can't grind unless you TT. It doesn't take too long unles you really get into it, and you get a variety of rewards, so it's a nice addition to your daily "chores"
 
As far as I understand, there are only 2 wedding recipes, right? The wand and the wreath. Also, how do the summer seashell recipes show up?
 
Do the days get later in Summer in the game? Or will it still get dark at the same time?

I don't believe so, unless it did in previous games. I've never actually notice whether or not it has before.

Correct, you get the other items by exchanging the crystal hearts you earn by taking photos.

It's just like the Spring Bamboo and Cherry Blossom DIYs, you can get them from popping balloons, bottles and from some villagers I believe.
 
oh my god i’m so excited! thanks for the info compilation nefarious!!

ok but there’s so many new things to do?? i was feeling a little meh about playing recently but i’m glad that june introduces a lot more content than i anticipated!
 
love that there's so much to do when there's a new season, month, and event to look forward to.
also personally happy that the emperor butterfly is back in season because i love them and didn't get to commission a model of it in march!
 
I'm excited to have a bunch of stuff to do in the new month and season.
I really can't wait to finally catch some sharks!
 
Oh wow, I didn't realize there were so many new things in June. How awesome! I've definitely been playing a little less, so this'll be really cool. And the return of the Emperor Butterflies! So excited for that too.
 
The handmade crown, handmade cape, and thank-you Dad mug are also available from the seasonal tab starting June 1 to the 30th, and should be available for all regions.

Thank you for the info! I've added it to the first post along with the Bug Off rewards. (y)
 
There's the summer solstice too, but I have no idea what it entails. The dataminers have mentioned that it exists though.
