Overview

The main purpose of this event is to celebrate the new year. Badtz-maru wants to celebrate the end of the year in a brilliant way—the Lighttime Jubilee—he’s building the biggest light display ever by stringing lights up all over the resort! When they turn it on, it’s gonna look amazing… assuming the player can get it working. Gather up special lights from celebrations past to bring the glow back to the Island, and send off the year with a beautiful blend of friendship and light. There are 35 types of items in this event's Collection Goals.

Yearly Event Differences

There are some differences in the story, depending on whether this is the first or second year that the player has participated in the "Lighttime Jubilee" quest.

Year 1: Badtz-maru and Chococat have set up light displays across the Resort.
- However, when they go to turn it on, the power overload causes Light Bulbs to pop out and the displays to break! They ask for the player's help to restore the displays.
Year 2: Badtz-maru and Chococat have set up light displays across the Resort once again.
- Badtz-maru is suspiciously happy about something. When Chococat turns the displays on, the Light Bulbs once again go flying! This time, Badtz-maru did it on purpose because he thought last year was fun. The two ask the player to help once again, and Chococat mentions it might make a good tradition.

There are no differences in item availability between years.

Light Bulbs

Light Bulbs are the main form of currency for the Lighttime Jubilee event and can be found around Seaside Resort and earned by completing Daily Quests.

A total of 5x Light Bulbs can be found around the Seaside Resort. An additional Light Bulb can be earned per daily quest completed. The player can earn 9x Light Bulbs per day. If the player misses up to 2 days previous, an additional 5x Light Bulbs will spawn for every missed day.

Light Bulbs spent to purchase limited-time furniture from Super Light Display (Event Stand) are counted and used to activate Light Displays around Seaside Resort. Each Light Display costs 10x Light Bulbs to activate and there are 7x total Light Displays.

Super Light Display

The Super Light Display (Event Stand) acts as a shop for Lighttime Jubilee's limited-time items. Light Bulbs can be traded for the 12 pieces of event furniture. Light Bulbs must be traded in at the event stand to power the other light displays.

Lighttime Jubilee Quest

Lighttime Jubilee	Click "Expand" to view information.
"Lighttime Jubilee" is an "Around The Island" quest that occurs during the Lighttime Jubilee event. The quest will only be active during the event annually. Quest Description "Let's light up Friendship Island!" Quest Information During the Lighttime Jubilee event, the player must help Badtz-maru light up the Seaside Resort for the celebration of the new year! Each day the player can collect Light Bulbs that can be used to power up light displays all around the Seaside Resort. The player must use Light Bulbs to purchase items from the Super Light Display (Event Stand). There are a total of 7x light displays, and one can be lit for every 10x Light Bulbs spent at the Super Light Display (Event Stand). After 10x Light Bulbs are spent at the Super Light Display (Event Stand), the player must interact with a light display to activate it. Activating a light display will also cause an additional band to glow on the Super Light Display (Event Stand). When all of the light displays are powered up, the player will automatically "Enjoy the Lights!" at reset on the final day of the event, thereby finishing the quest.

Glowbal

Glowbals are flowers that grow in the wild during the Lighttime Jubilee. During the event, █ yellow, █ sky, or █ hot pink Glowbals can randomly appear at reset in any empty flower plot in the Merry Meadow, which is first available after the "Curious Caverns" quest. They can also appear in empty flower plots in Seaside Resort and Spooky Swamp. They are the only flower with the glow pattern.

Glowbals cannot be turned into seed packets by digging them up or by using the Seed Dispenser. However, they can be bred and can be moved around using the Trowel once they are grown. After the event ends, they can only be bred inside the Greenhouse, but they will still be able to develop their default glow pattern anywhere if fertilized. Their plucked flowers are giftable.
