The following is a list of events by year.

Pikmin Bloom's first Community Day event occurred on November 13^th, 2021. It was set to run from 9:00am to 6:00pm local time, however, due to network issues making players unable to access the game, it was extended to run to 8:00pm. Bonuses of this event included:

• Big Flowers bloomed into pansies when regular flowers were planted around them.
  • This effect started the day before and continued throughout the weekend.
• Users who walked 10,000 steps or more earned a special Community Day Participant badge.
• Fruits gave twice the nectar.
• Seedlings in the Planter Pack grew at 1.5 times the normal speed.
  • To have received this badge, players needed to log in to the game at least once in the 2 weeks after the event.

This event was announced on November 4^th, 2021, just 9 days after the game's global release.

Second Community Day

Pikmin Bloom's second Community Day occurred on December 18^th, 2021. It was themed around poinsettia flowers, and lasted for the whole day. Bonuses included:

• Big Flowers bloomed into poinsettias when regular flowers were planted around them.
• Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on this day were awarded a special poinsettia flower badge.
• Seedlings in the Planter Pack grew at 1.5 times the usual speed. This effect was stackable with the flower planting multiplier.

This event was announced on December 2^nd, 2021. During this event, the step counter on the main menu was replaced with a special poinsettia-themed step counter graphic, which linked to the news menu when tapped before reaching the goal, and the badge's information page after reaching the goal. This made the regular step counter inaccessible. Following the event, challenges gave poinsettia nectar instead of pansy nectar.

Holiday Roadside Decor Pikmin

For a limited time centered around Christmas, Roadside-type Decor Pikmin wore special holiday-themed stickers instead of the standard letter stickers. This applied to any Pikmin sprouted during this period, regardless of when it reached Decor status. It started on December 21^st, 2021 after being announced the day before, and finished on January 11^th, 2022. This is the first event to introduce limited-time special Decor Pikmin. There was another effect of this event which was announced later, which was that coins will be earned 1 for every 250 flowers planted instead of 1 for every 500 flowers planted, capped at 60 coins per day, and lasting for the duration of the event.
