Groundhog Day is an event in the Animal Crossing series that occurs on February 2. In Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, it only occurs in the North American versions.
Appearances[edit]
In Animal Crossing[edit]
On Groundhog Day in Animal Crossing, Tortimer appears on a podium in front of the wishing well beginning at 7 AM, while four villagers stand by in anticipation of Mr. Resetti's appearance. At 8 AM, Resetti reluctantly appears as the "groundhog" and announces that spring is coming early. Beginning at 9 AM, Tortimer will give the player one of three models based on different types of flowers—the cosmos model, pansy model, or tulip model—each of which having three color variations, for a total of nine items. Only one flower model can be obtained per player.
In Wild World[edit]
On Groundhog Day in Animal Crossing: Wild World, the player receives a letter from Mom asking if the groundhog showed up in their town.
In City Folk[edit]
In North American towns in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Tortimer appears outside town hall on Groundhog Day. If spoken to he will give the player a Resetti model.
In New Leaf[edit]
In North American towns in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Isabelle appears in the event plaza between 6 PM and midnight on Groundhog Day. If spoken to she will give the player a Resetti model. There is also a cardboard cutout in the plaza, where the player can poke their head and stand beside Resetti.
In New Horizons[edit]
Although Groundhog Day does not appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a standard event, it appears as a Nook Shopping seasonal event beginning in the 1.7.0 Free Update. From January 25 to February 2, the player can purchase the Resetti model from Nook Shopping.
