Animal Crossing is bringing a little Carnevale to players’ islands with its next free update, which is scheduled to hit Nintendo Switch consoles on Jan. 28.

The update, highlighted in a brief trailer posted to Nintendo’s official YouTube account, includes the annual Festivale event on Feb. 15. The Festivale sees a lively peacock named Pave enter the main plaza, where you can trade feathers found floating around the island for “a passionate dance from Pave.”

The update will also add the new Viva Festivale Reaction Set to Nook’s Cranny for purchase, which includes the Confetti, Feelin’ It, Let’s Go and Viva Reactions, as well as bringing limited-time clothing options to the Able Sisters’ clothing store.

The next update, planned for March, is the collaboration with Super Mario first announced during the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct back in September.

Finally, the Animal Crossing x Sanrio amiibo card set, originally exclusive to 7-Eleven stores in Japan, will be making its way exclusively to Target stores in the U.S. on March 26. All six cards in the limited set will be available in a single pack for $5.99.
