Cherry Blossom season begins in April in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Cherry Blossom Season is one of the most visually pleasing events that players can celebrate in New Horizons. The event has been observed in previous iterations of Animal Crossing as well. However, they take place at different times of the year, depending on the gaming title.

Players celebrate the Cherry Blossom Season in New Horizons between April 1 and April 10. However, players must note that these dates are only applicable for players in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere celebrates the Cherry Blossom Season between October 1 and October 10.

Although the Cherry Blossom Season does not last for a very long period, it brings about a massive change in the player's island. Not only does the appearance of the island change to a soothing pastel pink, but the Cherry Blossom Season brings a bunch of exciting DIY recipes and items for players to get their hands on.

The onset of the event turns the leaves of the trees present on the player's island into a pastel pink color, resembling the cherry blossom trees commonly found in Japan.

The petals floating around the air from these trees can be caught by players using their nets. These petals can subsequently be used to craft various DIY recipes that can exclusively be found throughout the festival.

DIY recipes that can be found during this period are as follows:

• Blossom Viewing Lantern
• Cherry Blossom Bonsai
• Cherry Blossom branches
• Cherry Blossom clock
• Cherry Blossom petal pile
• Cherry Blossom pochette
• Cherry Blossom pond stone
• Cherry Blossom umbrella
• Outdoor picnic set
• Cherry Blossom flooring
• Cherry Blossom trees walls
• Cherry Blossom wand
• Sakura wood flooring
• Sakura wood wall

Given that the list of items players can obtain during this period is so enticing, it is no surprise that they are looking forward to the Cherry Blossom Season so intently in New Horizons. Thankfully, they will not have to wait much longer.
