Hinamatsuri Festival is the last event of February in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Hinamatsuri Festival in New Horizons is based on a Japanese festival celebrating Girls Day. The event did not appear in-game from the beginning but has become regular since the 1.8.0 update released in February 2021.

The Hinamatsuri Festival in New Horizons is celebrated from February 25 to March 3, and users can obtain two limited-time items from this event. They can get their hands on the Hinaningyo and the Blossom Lantern by participating in this festival.

The Hinaningyo and the Blossom Lantern are limited-time items that can be bought from the Seasonal Items section in Nook Shopping Centre's "Special goods" section. The Hinaningyo costs 2560 Bells, while the Blossom Lantern can be purchased for 2400 Bells.

These are decorative items and can be placed wherever gamers want to on their island. These items make for a great addition in Zen gardens or Japanese-themed rooms in New Horizons.

However, players must note that they cannot buy both items from the Nook Shopping Centre on the same day even if they have sufficient Bells in their inventory. This is because the items make their way into the Seasonal Items section one by one, and they shuffle regularly.

However, users do have time till March 3, giving them a week's worth of time to collect both items.
