Adopt Me has officially announced its biggest spring event to date, and the community is already buzzing. The Sugar Festival is a brand-new four-week event taking over Adoption Island starting March 13, 2026. This is not a standard one-week update. With a new currency, brand-new mini-games, a legendary Robux pet, and multiple ways to earn free pets, this event is shaping up to be one of the most packed updates the game has ever seen. Here is everything you need to know before you jump in.
New Easter Sugar Festival Leaks in Adopt Me
Before the official reveal, content creators and the Adopt Me community were already picking up on hints scattered throughout the game. Early sneak peeks showed Adoption Island undergoing a full candy-themed makeover, complete with chocolate-covered buildings, pink trees, candy scattered across the map, and a rainbow stretching across the horizon. Some fans speculated that the rainbow was tied to St. Patrick’s Day, given the timing, but the broader transformation clearly pointed toward a sugar- and Easter-themed spring event.
Adopt Me confirmed the update through teasers that gradually revealed the event’s name, theme, and some of its pets. The community was initially unsure whether the Sugar Festival was replacing a dedicated Easter update or running alongside one. Given that Easter 2026 falls on April 5 and the event spans four full weeks, it appears the Sugar Festival is Adopt Me’s Easter celebration for this year, stretched over a longer period than any previous event.
How to Get All the Sugar Festival Pets in Adopt Me
The Sugar Festival introduces a new event currency called Candy Eggs, and most of the new pets are tied to earning and spending them. Here is a breakdown of every way to earn Candy Eggs and unlock pets during the event.
Earn Candy Eggs by Raising Your Pets
The most straightforward method is simply playing the game the way you normally would. Every pet needs you to complete for your pet’s rewards, which you can earn with Candy Eggs. This means feeding, bathing, and playing with your pets all count toward building up your currency. This is especially good news for players who spend a lot of time ageing pets, as you will be earning the new currency passively while doing what you already do.
Float the River Mini-Game
One of the two new mini-games introduced in this update has you floating down a river while dodging obstacles to collect streams of Candy Eggs. The format is comparable to the ice-skating activity from the Christmas event, where players navigated a course while collecting event currency. The Candy Eggs gathered from this activity can then be used to purchase the Cocodile, the chocolate-themed crocodile pet available in week one of the festival.
The Game of Sweets Board Game
The second mini-game is called Sugar Dice, and it introduces something Adopt Me has never done before: a board game inside the game. You roll a sugar dice and receive rewards based on where you land. These rewards may include Bucks, gifts, or Candy Eggs. The key mechanic here is that every time you complete a full circuit of the board, you receive a Gumball. Collect enough Gumballs, and they will automatically transform into a Gumball Caterpillar pet that you can raise. As noted by the official Adopt Me announcement, playadopt.me, this is one of the more inventive unlock mechanics the game has introduced.
Free the Gummy Guana
There is also a third pet unlock method tied to a dedicated activity. Players use a candy chisel to carve through cliffs on Adoption Island to rescue a trapped Gummy Guana. Once freed, the pet joins you permanently as a thank-you for the rescue. This appears to be a one-time unlock tied to completing the activity, making it one of the more accessible free pets in the event.
Purchase the Candicorn with Robux
For players willing to spend real money, the legendary pet of the Sugar Festival is the Candicorn, a candy-themed unicorn. It is available for 1,000 Robux. This is the premium option, and several creators have noted that the price point is higher than many players were expecting. That said, for collectors and unicorn fans, it is the star of the event’s lineup. Some creators have announced giveaways for the Candicorn through their live streams and subscriber communities, so keeping an eye on your favourite Adopt Me content creators may be worth it if you want a chance to get one without spending.
Easter Update: All New Candy Pets in Adopt Me’s Easter Update
The Sugar Festival introduces four confirmed pets, each tied to a different unlock method. Here is a full rundown of each one.
Cocodile
The Cocodile is a chocolate-themed take on the classic crocodile. It is obtainable using Candy Eggs, which means it is entirely free-to-play. The exact Candy Egg cost had not been confirmed at the time of the initial announcement, with Adopt Me stating more details would follow in the days after the reveal. This pet has been one of the most requested additions from the community for years.
Gumball Caterpillar
The Gumball Caterpillar is earned through the Game of Sweets board game. Each time you complete a full circuit of the board, you receive a Gumball. Once you collect enough Gumballs, they combine to form the Gumball Caterpillar. Fan concepts suggest the pet will resemble the existing caterpillar in Adopt Me, but with each body segment replaced by a colourful gumball. The classic caterpillar is already a high-value pet within the game’s trading community, which makes this new candy variant a particularly exciting unlock for collectors.
Gummy Guana
The Gummy Guana is obtained by using a candy chisel to carve through cliffs and free the pet from where it is trapped. Adopt Me’s official description states that the pet is so grateful for the rescue that it will stick with you permanently. The animal appears to be a gummy-sweet version of an iguana, which would make it the first iguana-type pet in Adopt Me. It is a free pet tied to completing the rescue activity.
Candicorn
The Candicorn is the legendary pet of the Sugar Festival and the headline addition for Robux spenders. It is described as a majestic candy unicorn and costs 1,000 Robux. Unicorn pets are always popular in Adopt Me, and the game has leaned heavily into dragon-type legendary pets in recent updates, making this a welcome change of pace for the community. If you are hoping to get one without spending Robux, watch for giveaways from prominent Adopt Me creators who have announced plans to give them away to subscribers through live streams.
What Else to Expect During the Sugar Festival
Beyond the pets, the Sugar Festival brings a full transformation to Adoption Island. The map update includes candy-coated nurseries, pink trees, chocolate-covered buildings, and Easter-themed colour palettes throughout. Community builders and fan concept artists have also imagined what Easter-themed homes, vehicles, accessories, and bait items could look like within the update, including bunny vehicles, candy campers, chocolate bar pet accessories, and Easter basket accessories.
Adopt Me has structured the event to last four full weeks, which strongly suggests that additional content, potentially new pets, mini-games, or map changes, will roll out progressively rather than all at once on day one. Given the scope of the launch week alone, this Sugar Festival looks set to be one of the biggest seasonal events in the game’s history.
Whether you are a free-to-play grinder looking to earn every pet through Candy Eggs and mini-games, or a collector ready to spend Robux on the Candicorn, the Sugar Festival has something for every type of Adopt Me player. Mark your calendars for March 13 and start raising those pets.
