I don’t think you can do it, most people just make the event a few days before the day and make it so that it is ready on the day. Well probably someone else is going to find a solution, but I personally don’t think it is possible. Also have you checked the DevForum for any similar posts to yours?

i found some, they were a certain day but not every year.

You can using os.date to set it specifically

But it would require if statements and getting the values of the dictionary from os date

It depends on what you’re trying to achieve.

If you want to make an entire update (map change, new items, etc.) then that wouldn’t really be possible. That requires you to publish a new update to the game which can only be done manually

If you’re trying to make a small change then you can use a script that checks the date and makes the change on that specific day.

oh wait now i understand i just remove the year and only check for the month and day im so dumb xd :man_facepalming:

To be fair your right if its large he can do it manually or use OpenCloud Api but thats a longer process were he would need an api key and an active script running concurrently in a different programming language such as javascript were it can communicate with a roblox server script.

Check the date … if true, go event.

function Eventday(month, day)
    local t = os.date("*t")
    return t.month == month and t.day == day
end

print(Eventday(3, 21))
more generic 
--ServerScript = server's timezone 
--LocalScript = client's device timezone

local events = {
	["04-12"] = 1,
	["07-18"] = 2,
	["10-08"] = 3,
	["03-20"] = 4,
	["03-21"] = 5,
	["03-22"] = 6
}

function EventCheck()
	return events[os.date("%m-%d")]
end

local event = EventCheck()
if event then print(event)
end

--UTC Universal time alternative ..
--return events[string.format("%02d-%02d", os.date("!*t").month, os.date("!*t").day)]
