Obon is an event in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons that occurs in late summer.
Appearances[edit]
In New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Obon occurs only in Japanese towns on either August 15 or 16. During the event, the player may visit the event plaza, where a cardboard cutout for the event is placed, and receive a gift from Isabelle, which can be either an eggplant cow or a cucumber horse.
If August 15 falls on a Saturday, Isabelle will be standing near the town hall, since Nat will be using the plaza for the Bug Off. If it falls on a Sunday, the Fireworks Show will occur instead on this day, and Obon will fall on August 16.
In New Horizons[edit]
Although Obon does not appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a standard event, it appears as a Nook Shopping seasonal event beginning in the 1.11.0 Free Update. From September 12 to September 21, the player can purchase a cucumber horse and an eggplant cow from Nook Shopping.
