Animal Crossing: Wild World/Events

Holidays and events
Holidays such as Christmas, Halloween and Valentines Day are not present in Animal Crossing: Wild world. However, there are plenty of events to keep you busy through the year. A huge part of Animal Crossing's uniqueness is the function that allows certain events to happen at certain days or weeks in the year.

This is how the information for each holiday or event will be displayed:
 * When: When the holiday or event will take place, regardless of year.

Cornimer will also give you a Fortune each day.


 * Helpful tips
 * DO NOT give rotten acorns to Cornimer. Before speaking to him be sure to remove all rotten acorns from your pockets. If you have any rotten acorns, Cornimer will take all the acorns in your inventory and will not add them to your running total!
 * Cedar trees will not produce acorns. The acorns are randomly places under non-fruit bearing trees. Planting extra trees will NOT produce more acorns.
 * Clear any flowers, weeds or fruit from around trees. If there are any items lying under the trees the acorns will not be produced in these spots. This can cause you missing out on acorns.
 * Remove rotten acorns from around the trees. This will also stop new acorns appearing the next day. Nook will buy them.
