Autumn Moon

The Autumn Moon festival occurs between the middle of September and the middle of October, on the full moon closest to the Fall Equinox.

When you first start up your game on the Autumn Moon festival day, Isabelle will mention that today is the festival and to come see her later, as she will have a Wheat Bundle to give you, which you can decorate your home with. Since she'll be outside at the plaza, the town hall will be closed like on all holidays.

Schedule
To find out when the Autumn Moon is occuring in a particular year, it helps to use a full moon calculator to figure out when the full moon will be occuring each year. The Autumnal Equionox is on September 22nd, which means that the Autumn Moon will not occur before September 9th, or after October 5th.

The Harvest Moon is the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. For farmers, it marks the end of the summer harvesting season. This moon rises earlier and provides more light for farmers after sunset so they can continue harvesting their crops.

In the American version of the game, Isabelle will reward the player with a wheat bundle. European and Australian players will receive a veggie basket.
