{{Spoiler}}
'''Festivals''' are special events in [[Stardew Valley]]. [[Lewis|Mayor Lewis]] will send the player a letter in advance of each festival, describing when and where it will take place. On the day of the festival, a pop-up on left-hand side of the screen will let the player know when the festival has begun. If they choose to attend a festival (other than the [[Night Market]]), upon leaving they will be returned to [[the Farm]] late at night.
If it is a festival day other than the [[Desert Festival]], [[Trout Derby]], [[SquidFest]], or [[Night Market]] animals do not need to be fed; the game will automatically consider them fed.
Attendance at festivals is entirely optional. Speaking to villagers at festivals will increase friendship points, the same as any other day. Some festivals can have special effects on friendship, such as increasing friendship with every known villager, or increased friendship for gifting.
In a [[multiplayer]] game, every player who is present needs to enter the festival area to proceed (except for the [[Night Market]]). The same goes for leaving it, if it doesn't end automatically. Generally only the host can initiate further events.
==Shop Closures==
:''Main article: [[Shop Schedules]]''
All buildings and homes in Stardew Valley are "locked" on all festival days where the festival begins before 7pm (''i.e.,'' all festivals other than [[Spirit's Eve]] and [[Dance of the Moonlight Jellies]]). [[the Sewers]], [[Community Center]], [[Movie Theater]], and [[Spa]] will remain open. The exception to this rule is the [[Night Market]], where homes and shops are open, and time continues to pass during the festival. These buildings remain locked all day, even if the player does not attend the festival.
==[[Spring]]==
===Egg Festival===
[[File:Egg Festival.png|thumb|right|Egg Festival]]
:''Main article: [[Egg Festival]]''
The Egg Festival takes place on the 13th of every [[Spring]]. The player attends the festival by entering [[Pelican Town]] Square between 9am and 2pm. When the festival ends, the player is returned to [[The Farm]] at 10pm.
The featured attraction of the Egg Festival is the Egg Hunt. The player and some other villagers search for small colored eggs hidden around Pelican Town. The Egg Hunt starts by talking to [[Lewis|Mayor Lewis]]. The player must gather 9 colored eggs (in 50 seconds, real time), or else [[Abigail]] will win. (In multiplayer games, less than 9 eggs are required to win, and more than one player can win at the same time.) If they win, they will receive a [[Straw Hat]] as a reward the first year they win, and {{Price|1000}} afterwards.
There is a booth set up where the player can purchase a decorative [[Lawn Flamingo]], [[Plush Bunny]], [[Seasonal Plant]]s, and [[Strawberry Seeds]]. (Planting the strawberry seeds on or before Spring 16, will allow the player to harvest [[Strawberry|Strawberries]] two times before [[Summer]]).
The festival ends after Mayor Lewis announces the winner of the Egg Hunt.
'''[[Flower Festival]]'''
===Desert Festival===
[[File:Desert Festival.png|thumb|right|Desert Festival]]
:''Main article: [[Desert Festival]]''
The Desert Festival takes place in the Desert during Spring 15-17, from 10am to 2am. The player does not need to wait for Pam to arrive at the [[Bus Stop]] to visit the Desert for the first two days of the festival. There are various rotating stock shops, a race to bet on, challenges to complete for event currency, and a daily opportunity to receive a new outfit from Emily.
Like the Night Market, time passes regularly, however villagers will not be at their homes or shops as they will be at the festival.
===Flower Dance===
[[File:Flower Festival.jpg|thumb|right|Flower Dance]]

There is a booth set up where the player can purchase a [[Dandelion]], [[Daffodil]], [[Tub o' Flowers]], [[Seasonal Decor]], [[Seasonal Plant]]s, and [[Scarecrow#Rarecrows|Rarecrow #5]].
During this festival, the player can dance with one of the [[Marriage#Marriage Candidates|bachelors or bachelorettes]], or another player in [[multiplayer]]. They must talk to them (twice) and invite them to dance, but they will refuse unless the player has at least four hearts of [[friendship]] with them. The player can talk to the other villagers and they will have event-related dialogue.
Dancing will increase friendship with their partner by 1 heart (250 points). The dance begins after talking to [[Lewis]]. The festival ends after the dance is performed.
==[[Summer]]==

A central feature of the Luau is the potluck soup. Villagers bring different ingredients to prepare this soup for the [[Governor]], who tastes and judges it. The soup-tasting begins by talking to [[Lewis|Mayor Lewis]].
Depending upon the type and quality of the ingredients the player supplies for the soup, there will be different reactions from the Governor and Mayor Lewis. The outcome may increase or reduce friendship points with all villagers.
The Luau ends automatically after the Governor tastes the soup.

Talking to [[Lewis|Mayor Lewis]] after completing the Grange Display initiates the judging process. Once the items have been judged the player is notified and can return to Mayor Lewis to collect the results. Items displayed in the Grange Display are returned, but not automatically. If a player forgets to collect the items, they can be found in the lost and found box in the [[Mayor's Manor]].

The maze is located to the north of Pierre's festive shop. The maze has few dead ends and progresses in a nearly linear fashion. There is no time limit to complete the maze. Towards the end of the maze, in the northwest corner of the map, walk through a block of hedges to the left of a wooden sign with a question mark.
