The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.7.0 update was released on January 27, 2021.

The January update is all about Festivale, a limited-time event where residents get together to dance and have fun. Full of crazy costumes and all-new activities, you’ll find a dancer known as Pave that will arrive on your island, bringing tons of true carnival spirit for the day-long celebration on February 15.

Along with some additional items being added to Nook Shopping, the game also receives a few bug fixes, which were mainly related to the issue that was preventing players from receiving the mermaid fence recipe from Pascal.
