Exactly! It seems like such a magical time, I loved it. Last night was my first time experiencing it on New Leaf. I had my little girl come over to my town and we set off some fireworks of our own. We had a blast, she especially loved it when we would run around and around the fountain fireworks while they were going off! <3
I love the music especially! The villagers are so cute too when they clap at the fireworks as they explode in the air, though. I also love that you can submit your own designs so that they are turned into fireworks, as well as Redd's stand, though I couldn't get all the items and I filled the plaza with repeated prizes, lol.
I like that you can suggest patterns to Isabelle and they will become fireworks in the show. I also realized I never kept any of the prize tickets or cookies, so I got some on Sunday. I love collecting the random event items.
