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.

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.) This step graphic returned in every subsequent Community Day event, with different theming to match each event's promoted flower. Following the event, challenges gave poinsettia nectar instead of pansy nectar.

Holiday Roadside Decor Pikmin
