Animal Crossing: New Horizons' April 2020 Update Adds Nature Day Event

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' April 2020 update will arrive on April 23 and will add the Nature Day seasonal event, a museum expansion with an Art Gallery, Leif and Jolly Redd as new merchants, hints at future events like Wedding Season, and much more. Nature Day will run from April 23 to May 4, and will help celebrate our real world Earth Day that takes place on April 22. This update also gives us a glimpse at future events, including May Day Tour from May 1 - May 7, International Museum Day from May 18 - May 31, and the previously mentioned Wedding Season from June 1 - June 30. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/21/animal-crossing-new-horizons-april-free-update-trailer"] Nature Day will feature special Nook Miles challenges that are focused on such activities as planting trees and watering flowers. May Day Tour will allow players to use a one-time May Day Ticket to go on a limited-time tour to a special island that may include "a special visitor who looks familiar." International Museum Day brings a Stamp Rally to Animal Crossing: New Horizons and will have player viewing fish, insects, and fossils they've collected and getting stamps for visiting exhibits. Wedding Season will take place at Harvey's Island and will let players meet the married couple Reese and Cyrus. They will also be able to arrange and take anniversary photos with them in the wedding-picture studio, and earn wedding-themed items as a reward. Leif the sloth will bring his Garden Shop to your island and he will allow you to buy the newly added shrubs, like the White-azalea or the orange-tea-olive. Jolly Redd the fox will bring his Treasure Trawler boat to your shores and will offer artwork and furniture in exchange for bells.
