April marks the middle of spring and fall in, and players will find lots of fun events and new critters to catch. April is a great month for social butterflies, with lots of events taking place outdoors in the sunshine. Critter collectors can also find new bugs, fish, and deep-sea creatures on their islands, all waiting to be caught and donated to the Museum.
After a quiet March spent catching new seasonal critters, players will find April is much more lively. Events such as Cherry Blossom and Maple Leaf Season will bring the inhabitants of your island outdoors, giving you the chance to reconnect with old friends. Summer and Winter are still weeks away, but there’s still lots of fun to be had.
