When Does Bunny Day Start in Animal Crossing New Horizons?
Bunny Day will start on April 1 in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Easter event will run through until April 12, giving players plenty of time to collect eggs, craft exclusive furniture, and more.
What Time Does Bunny Day Start?
Bunny Day is scheduled to start on April 1, We don't have any more info regarding specific times. 6 a.m. is when each new day starts, so could be when you'll be able to access the event.

How to Start the Bunny Day Event
To start the Bunny Day event you'll need to speak to Zipper T. Bunny. They're a new character who will appear on your island. Just speak to them for more info on what you'll have to do. You will need to have downloaded all of the updates for the game so far.
Where to Find Easter Eggs
The main task you'll be working on during Bunny Day is collecting Easter Eggs. These can be found in a couple of ways. The first is to dig them up. You can find them by looking for Xs on the ground (this is similar to how fossils are found, more on that here). The other way to get Easter Eggs is to fish for them. From the looks of the video Nintendo has released on the subject, which you can watch on this page, some fish will actually end up being Easter Eggs when you pull them out of the water. This is similar to how trash like tires and tin cans work in the game.

What Can You Do With Eggs?
