Spring



Spring in Animal Crossing starts on the 18th February, when the trees begin to go green (after they go white, for Winter). This shouldn't be mistaken for bugs and insects appearing for this season - these appear at the beginning of March.

Events
Below is a taster of what to expect in spring. Here is a list of the events, what happens in each, in what game and when.


 * Valentine's Day (14th of February City Folk)- Players will be given a Chocolate Heart by a neighbor.


 * Flea Market (Third Sunday of February City Folk)- Players can visit villager's homes and buy selected items of furniture. Likewise, villagers can visit the Player's house and buy items from them, at a price set by the Player.


 * Las Festivales (23rd of February City Folk)- Pavé appears in the Plaza. During this event you can win candy, which you can exchange for prizes through Pavé. You win candy by playing games with other villagers.


 * Girl's Day (3rd of March City Folk)- Villagers' coversations may revolve around this day.


 * Father's Day (19th of March City Folk)- Villagers' coversations may revolve around this day. A letter from Mum may arrive featuring information about the day (and your father).


 * Fishing Tourney (Second Saturday of March, Second Saturday of April, Second Saturday of May; City Folk)- Chip the fishing ace will set up a stall in the Plaza, and challenge the villagers of the town to catch the biggest fish (overall, or selected type of fish). The competition ends at 6:00 PM, whereupon the winner will receive a trophy. A notice will also be put up on the bulletin board announcing the winner.
