3 things to do before the Festivale event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

While February might not be the grandest month for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it offers a fair share of events and corresponding items to keep players entertained throughout the month.

Even though the event is only a few weeks away, Nintendo allows players to collect exclusive items so they can make the most of the upcoming Spring event.

The following is a list of things players need to gather before the event officially kicks off.
