February in Animal Crossing New Horizons is when the snow will finally start to melt. There will be a few events, some new fish, bugs, and deep sea creatures that you can catch.
However, things in the Northern Hemisphere will be a bit slow, just like in January, so most of the new stuff you can find will be in the Southern Hemisphere.
Moreover, many villagers will have their birthdays in February. If that villager lives on your Island, you can celebrate together. This guide will cover everything new that February 2024 in ACNH will bring you to enjoy. Let’s start with the Events and Seasonal Items.
ACNH February 2024 Events and Seasonal Items
The first event in February you can enjoy is the Lunar New Year on the 10th of February. This event does not have much except some seasonal items and interaction that you can have with villagers on this day.
After this event, the second event in February is Festivale. This event will happen on the 12th of February, and you can use the net to collect feathers. Afterward, you can head to “Pave” and trade the feather for the event-specific furniture.
You can also get a recipe from “Pave” and craft x3 Rainbow Feather that you can exchange for Festivale Float.
After this event, you can celebrate the Valentine’s Day on Feb 14. You will receive letters and gifts from players and Isabella during Valentine’s Day. You can also find some Valentine’s Day Special items at the Nook’s Cranny that you can purchase by spending Bells.
The last small event you can experience in the Southern Hemisphere is the Bug Off. This will happen on the 18th of February, and you can catch bugs during it to get points. You can exchange these points for some unique recipes in ACNH February.
February Bugs
Apart from the usual bugs in both hemispheres, during February, a few new ones have been added in both hemispheres, and we have covered them below.
