Here’s a brief summary of what you can enjoy during the Fireworks Show Event, with more details for each activity later in this guide:

- Buy prizes from Redd’s Raffle including toys and treats.
- Collect Bopper hat prizes from Isabelle for free.
- Design and display custom firework designs.
Redd’s Raffle
During the Fireworks Show event on Sundays, the sly fox Redd who typically sells artwork on his Treasure Trawler will set up a prize booth outside of Resident Services instead. By spending Bells to purchase Raffle Tickets, you can enter Redd’s Raffle and win exclusive party prizes like fireworks, balloons, bubble wands, fans, and more!
Each Raffle Ticket can be purchased for 500 Bells each from Redd when interacting with his prize booth. There’s no limit to how many different tickets you can buy, and he makes it super easy to repeatedly purchase more offering a handy dialogue option to buy another.
These prizes can sometimes be given to you by one of your villager during the Fireworks Show as well when they run up to you with a bubble.
Redd’s Raffle Prizes Item List
When you enter Redd’s Raffle by purchasing a Raffle Ticket, you will receive one randomly selected festive prize out of 24 possible items corresponding to a raffle ticket number!
Check out the complete list below including every different prize item you can get from playing Redd’s Raffle during the Firework Show event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons:
Keep in mind that many of Redd’s prizes are consumables and will disappear after you’ve used them. The Red Sparkler, Blue Sparkler, Fountain Firework, and Bubble Blower all have a single use. Food items like Cotton Candy, Frozen Treats, and Boba have three uses.
Additionally, using the food items like Cotton Candy will fill up your stamina meter for fruit energy, much like eating fruit.
The Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, and Pink Balloons will remain in your hand when standing, but can fly away if you trip and fall on your face when running!
Collect Isabelle’s Boppers (Prize List)
In addition to the prizes that Redd offers in his raffle, there are another four more exclusive Bopper items that you can get from Isabelle during the Fireworks Show event! During each date of the event, she’ll give you one for free.
Since there are five dates for the Fireworks Show event during August 2021, it should be easy to get all four different Boppers seen below by checking in every Sunday!
Boppers can be worn on your head glowing beautifully at night and sell for 245 Bells each to Timmy & Tommy.
Custom Design Pattern Fireworks
Enjoying the sight of beautiful fireworks lighting up the sky over your island is already amazing enough, but you can spice the event up even more by using custom pattern designs! By using any custom patterns currently on your NookPhone, they can be turned into fireworks showcased in the sky during the event.
To set your own custom design patterns as fireworks, simply speak to Isabelle outside of Resident Services any time either before or during the event and select the “I’ve got a firework idea!” dialogue option.
You can select up to 10 different custom designs at once to be used as fireworks during the show, and even pick the order that they’ll be launched by moving them around the different slots provided. At any time during the Fireworks Show, you can swap out patterns for different designs or change the order.
