Aniimo Night Parade is the Halloween-themed event in Departure with the Wind: Part 2. Earn Halloween Candy from Daily Activity, use it to light up the Candy House, blend scents for visiting Aniimo and record their visits in the event journal. Complete the parade to earn an exclusive Avatar Frame and Sparkling Crystal.
The event opened on 29 October 2026 and runs until 10 December at 03:59 UTC on the Europe server. You need the Student I character promotion to take part. That gives you several weeks to build your Candy House and collect its rewards rather than having to finish everything on Halloween night.
How to Start Aniimo Night Parade
- Reach the Student I promotion on your character.
- Open the Night Parade event in the seasonal activities menu.
- Complete your normal Daily Activity tasks to earn Halloween Candy.
- Use the Candy House system to spend your candy and gradually light up the house.
- Choose materials for visiting Aniimo and blend scents to attract the guests.
- Record encounters in the event journal and continue building toward the parade scene.
The fastest way to progress through Aniimo Night Parade is to complete Daily Activity first, then return to the event with the candy you’ve earned. Spend it on Candy House illumination and work through the visitor encounters. This is a daily activity loop, not a one-night Halloween challenge.
At the Candy House, select materials and blend scents for visiting Aniimo. Each new encounter can be recorded in the event journal, building the collection of visitors needed to bring the parade scene together.
Aniimo Night Parade Halloween Candy and Candy House
Halloween Candy comes from the Institute Guide’s Daily Activity rewards. Collect it there before returning to the Night Parade event. The official event instructions connect candy with lighting the house and attracting guests, so you can work on both systems in the same session.
The journal helps you track which Aniimo have already visited. Check it after mixing scents instead of repeatedly using the same materials without looking at your recorded encounters. As the house fills with visitors, the parade scene develops.
You don’t need to confuse the Candy House with your regular RV building. Aniimo Night Parade is a seasonal event activity, whereas the new Magical Wonder Night Home season focuses on your RV, pumpkin crops and furniture. The two run alongside one another, but use different systems.
Aniimo Night Parade Rewards and Journal
The confirmed completion rewards include an exclusive Avatar Frame and Sparkling Crystal. The event journal is your record of visiting Aniimo, and progressing the Candy House leads toward the finished parade scene.
After welcoming another Aniimo, check the journal and Candy House progress for new claimable rewards. You can then return to Daily Activity to earn more candy and continue the next encounter.
Aniimo Night Parade fits alongside the Companion Handbook, which also gains experience from Daily Activity. Completing your daily tasks can therefore move both systems forward. The Whisperwake Isles survey is separate and awards Survey Points for exploration instead of Halloween Candy.
When Does Aniimo Night Parade End?
On the Europe server, Aniimo Night Parade closes on 10 December 2026 at 03:59 UTC. The Americas and APAC servers have their own regional time settings for the same event. The deadline is later than the main Part 2 season’s Europe cutoff on 9 December at 23:59 UTC.
The event does not end on 31 October. Players who only start in November can still earn Halloween Candy and build up the Candy House while the Part 2 event remains active.
The new Magical Wonder Night Homeland season is different. That activity requires RV level 10 and completion of Act Seven: Festivals of Astra, then offers Pumpkin God’s Journey, Magic Pumpkin crops, Wonder Night furniture and the Batshadow Pumpkin RV skin.
For Aniimo Night Parade, start with Student I, complete Daily Activity for candy, light the Candy House, blend scents and record each visitor. Collect the Avatar Frame and Sparkling Crystal from the event rewards before the Europe deadline on 10 December.
