Animal Crossing: New Horizons visitor guide – Celeste, Redd, Label, more

Meg Bethany Koepp

Look no further if you’re wondering when Celeste or Redd will next visit your town in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This guide covers everything about the game’s NPC visitors.

The NPCs in New Horizons each add something special to your island experience. To name a few, Daisy Mae, K.K. Slider, and Leif ddon’talways appear. Knowing when to expect them, like Celeste for her coveted DIY recipes, can be quite helpful.

Some characters appear more often than others, and it can feel like some rarely show up at all. There is actually a way to calculate who could be coming to your island when, though, and we’ve got all the details down below.

There are a variety of visitors in AC:NH.

Reddit user ‘8BitBish’ is the genius behind understanding how the visitor system works, as they put together a handy graphic that details just how often and who will be coming on what days.

Saharah, the mysterious wallpaper and flooring selling camel, is due to appear in your town weekly without fail, and so is Leif, and the shoe merchant Kicks. K.K. performs his songs on a Saturday evening, and Daisy Mae brings her turnips every Sunday morning.

The way Redd, Label, Gulliver, C.J., and Flick work are a little bit different. Two of the five NPCs can be found on your island each week, and the three that didn’t show will have priority the next.

As for Wisp the ghost and Celeste, they only arrive at night – the former showing up randomly after 8PM, and the star-gazing owl making an appearance when there’s shooting stars and meteor showers in the sky.
