The Carnival of Venice is one of the three February events that roll over from January, apart from the Groundhog Day event and the Japanese Setsubun holiday. The event starts on January 25 and continues up until February 16.

The Venetian Carnival is one of the oldest carnivals in the world, and is said to date back to 1094. The carnival is celebrated with great grandeur every year, which is also replicated in New Horizons. Players dress according to the occasion and can also get their hands on the limited time Carnival of Venice themed item: the Venetian Carnival mask.

Players can get their hands on five different variations of the Venetian Carnival masks, which are as follows:

The Venetian Carnival mask was introduced in New Horizons in the much awaited 2.0 update, which was released in the game in November 2021. Players can access the Venetian Carnival masks and all their variations from the Able Sisters' Shop in New Horizons, since the accessory is a clothing item.
