Animal Crossing Fireworks Show: Raffle Prizes, How Long It Lasts And ...

How to use fireworks and sparklers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

You can receive both sparklers and Fountain fireworks from Redd's Raffle during the Fireworks Show in New Horizons. Both of these items can only be used once and can be stored in your house if you'd prefer to use them at a later date.

To use a Fountain Firework, open your inventory, select the firework and then choose the option to drop it on the ground. Now slowly walk towards the firework, until you see the option to press A to light the firework appear.

Now all you have to do is enjoy the firework and, once it's finished, pick up it's burnt remains. (Or you can litter…) You can use the bin next to Redd's raffle stand to dispose of the former firework save in the knowledge that Redd definitely doesn't take any unwanted prizes out of this bin to use again.

Sparkler comes in two colours - red and blue - and you might also receive one from a villager during the Fireworks Show.

To use a sparkler, select it in your inventory and choose the option to hold it. Once your avatar is holding the sparkler, press A and you'll stand still until the sparkler has burnt out.

During this time you can press A again, which will cause you to wave the sparkler about.

Version 3.0 has brought a host of new features to New Horizons. From the Resort Hotel to Slumber Island to new items, like ones from Zelda and retro games. There's still work be done on your island though! Ensure your Museum is full of art, fish and bugs. Cooking, meanwhile, will let you make some tasty gifts for your villagers. If your island needs decorating, why not add some Gyroids, flowers or fruit? Don't forget to make sure you've got every tool though and that your home is up to Happy Home Academy standards. There's also your Happy Home Paradise restort too!
