Here's everything you need to know to make the most of Bunny Day 2026!
Bunny Day 2026 Schedule
Bunny Day begins each year with a few days of preparation, where players start gathering eggs and learning about the event's activities. In 2026, the event will start on March 29, and April 5 will be the main event day (Easter Sunday). Here's a breakdown:
March 29 - April 4, 2026: Pre-event phase — you'll start collecting eggs, and Zipper T. Bunny will appear to introduce the event. Eggs will appear all around your island, and you can begin gathering them to unlock recipes and start crafting Bunny Day items.
April 5, 2026 (Easter Sunday): The official Bunny Day celebration — Zipper T. Bunny will be in full swing, offering final rewards and bonuses, and your island will be filled with even more Easter-themed activities.
During this week, players will hunt for six types of Bunny Day eggs, which are scattered around the island in various locations and can be used to craft exclusive Bunny Day items.

Meet Zipper T. Bunny
Zipper T. Bunny is the lively mascot of Bunny Day, and he's the character that players will interact with throughout the event. Zipper is a bit quirky and wears a large bunny suit (with a slightly unsettling zipper visible in the back) that adds to his charm. His role in Bunny Day is crucial as he:
Introduces the event: Zipper will give you your first Bunny Day DIY recipe and explains how the egg hunt works. You'll meet him during the pre-event phase.
Provides recipes: He gives you additional recipes as you gather eggs. He will also reward you with exclusive items for completing certain Bunny Day goals.
Appears on Easter Sunday (April 5, 2026): On the final day of the event, Zipper offers a special interaction, providing players with some of the most coveted Bunny Day items.
Gives rewards: Players can trade eggs with Zipper for special items, including furniture and festive clothing. He also provides the Bunny Day Basket if you trade him one of each type of egg.
Zipper's lively presence is one of the highlights of the event. Though he's a bit eccentric, there's no denying that he helps bring the Easter festivities to life in New Horizons.
Egg Hunt – Collect All Six Egg Types
The central activity of Bunny Day is the egg hunt, where players collect six different types of Bunny Day eggs. Each egg type can be found in specific ways, and you'll need to gather them all to craft various festive items. Here's a breakdown of the egg types and where you can find them:
| Egg Type | Location / How to Find |
|---|---|
| Earth Eggs | Found by digging up the X-marked spots with your shovel. These eggs are buried underground. |
| Leaf Eggs | Found by shaking trees that don't have fruit. The eggs fall from the trees. |
| Sky Eggs | Found by shooting down balloons floating in the sky with a slingshot. |
| Stone Eggs | Found by hitting rocks with a shovel or axe. Occasionally, an egg will pop out when hitting rocks. |
| Water Eggs | Caught while fishing in rivers or the ocean. Water eggs can be obtained while fishing with a rod. |
| Wood Eggs | Dropped by trees when chopped down with an axe. These eggs are part of the wood you get after cutting trees. |
Pro Tip: Sky and Water eggs can be obtained continuously through balloon shooting and fishing, while other types (such as Earth or Stone eggs) can be gathered in limited amounts each day. The eggs reset daily, so you can collect them each day during the event.
You can also visit Mystery Islands using Nook Miles Tickets to find more of each egg type, especially the rarer eggs like Sky and Water. This is a great way to maximize your egg collection during the event!
Crafting Bunny Day Items
The main reward from collecting eggs is the ability to craft a variety of exclusive Bunny Day items, including furniture, decorations, and festive outfits. These items are only available during Bunny Day, so make sure you gather enough eggs to craft as many as possible.
To craft Bunny Day items, you'll need to unlock DIY recipes. These recipes can be obtained by:
Shooting down balloons with your slingshot, which often contain Bunny Day DIY recipes.
Finding message bottles washed up on the beach, which will occasionally contain Bunny Day recipes.
Talking to villagers during the event, who may also share Bunny Day recipes.
