Where to watch Fireworks in ACNH

You watch the fireworks on your island.

To get access to the fireworks displays you need to update Animal Crossing New Horizons to version 1.40.

Alongside the fireworks show you can also enter Redd’s Raffle on Sundays.  By using Bells to purchase raffle tickets you can win different prizes like different colored balloons, fans, and other festive items.  Isabelle will also be giving away party favors as well during the events.  Isabelle will give you one of four different Bopper head wear pieces that you can wear.

Watching Custom Fireworks

You can also customize the show by using custom fireworks patterns.  Custom patterns that you have stored on your Nook Phone can be turned into the fireworks displays shown in the night sky during the limited time event in August.  Downloading the Animal Crossing New Horizons Summer Update Wave 2 patch will get you access to these fireworks, island backup, King Tut’s mask, and more.
