Animal Crossing: New Horizons celebrates Le 14 Juillet or Bastille Day by offering the limited-time Phrygian cap

14 July marks the Bastille Day, a popular holiday in France that Animal Crossing: New Horizons also celebrates. The occasion is more popularly known as 'Le 14 Juillet' in the game and is one of the few events in the month of July that players can enjoy.

Starting from 10 July 2020, Nintendo introduced the Bastille Day event at Animal Crossing: New Horizons that went on for a whole week. This week, players had access to the exclusive Phrygian camp, a marker of the French Revolution, in the Nook Shop.

The Phrygian cap in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a limited-time clothing piece that has appeared once again in the game as the event returned in 2021.

There isn't much that happens during the French holiday in Animal Crossing: New Horizons during the week-long event except for the arrival of a limited-time clothing item.

Players can buy the Phrygian Cap from the Nook Shop in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for 880 Bells. This week-long window is a once-in-a-year opportunity for players to have at buying the cap.

While it might not be a lucrative item to get in the first instance, players can pair it up with the right costume to make the most out of it.

The red Phrygian Cap in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that players can get during Le 14 Juillet can be used to dress up as Papa Smurf from the popular movie franchise for Halloween if players want. On the other hand, they can also carry it solo and rock the cap to show off between their villagers.
