- "You may think you have stepped out into a sprawling metropolitan street while walking about your neighborhood this week. Do not worry though, thetown has not been moved without your knowledge... It is just decorated for Bright Nights!"
- — Event announcement
Bright Nights is an event exclusive toAnimal Crossing: Wild World that occurs during the month ofFebruary. It starts on the Monday of the second week in February and lasts until the following Sunday.
In accordance with Bright Nights tradition,villagers decorate their houses with bright lights. In recent years, however, villagers have become so ambitious that competition has evolved. Theplayer is the judge of the villagers' decorations. They should walk around daily (although the lights themselves never change during the week) to check out the spectacle and then visit thetown hall to talk toTortimer. When the player first talks to him each day, he will ask them what they think of the lights in the town. If they answer "Gorgeous!", he will ask them to pick which villager's lights they like best. All human characters in the town may vote, and the last chance to vote is on Saturday. On Sunday,Tortimer will name thevillager who received the most votes the Bright Star of the festival. The winning villager will compliment anyplayer who speaks to them, and the losing villagers will likely complain.
Villagers may stillmove in and out during Bright Nights, andK.K. Slider will still be atThe Roost at his regular time. However, otherspecial characters may not appear, such asJoan andRedd.
In addition to the villagers'houses, cedar trees are also decorated with lights.
