Animal Crossing New Horizons August Events
In August, players will not only get regular content such as Bug-Off and new creatures in the water, but also usher in summer update wave 2 which could contain new seasonal events providing limited-time recipes, ingredients, items, and new special characters. Get to know when these new events happen in the game will help you collect limited-time ACNH Items and Bells on time. Now follow us to check out the calendar of Animal Crossing New Horizons August Events:
July 25th - August 31st: Morning Aerobics

August 15th (Third Saturday): Bug-Off
August 21st: Founder's Day
Morning Aerobics (To Be Confirmed)
Release Time: From July 25th to August 31st.
Morning Aerobics is a daily event. If it come back to Animal Crossing New Horizons, it could run every day during the event time except raining day. Copper (It is a dog wearing Aerobics clothes) conducts Morning Aerobics at the Wishing Well with four other villagers on every morning from 6am to 7am (only on sunny days). Most of the time, villagers follow the moves that Copper do. If a villager misses a move, they will start to sweat and wobble. Players can get 14 cards stamped at morning aerobics sessions for getting a reward - Aerobics Stereo, which enables the player to perform the exercises in their house. So it is really a very funny event and most of the regular players of Animal Crossing want it to come back to New Horizons.

Obon (Japan only)
Release Time: August 15th
Obon is a Japanese holiday to honor departed relatives, also a big day for family reunions. On this feast day, Japanese families come together to commemorate deceased family members. The "coming and leaving" of the dead in and out of the real world is symbolized by eggplant and cucumber. At this special festival, all shops in the village are closed. By the way, Isabelle has one of the two items. So visit the village of a Japanese friend on the day to get the items. By the way, they are ideal as decoration for your kitchens!
