The Desert Festival is an event that happens every year in the desert on Spring 15th, 16th, and 17th. Unlike non-festival days, players may enter the desert prior to when Pam arrives at the Bus Stop, and enter the event, though it officially starts at 10 AM. On the final day of the festival, the player must wait until Pam arrives to drive the bus at 10am. This event requires the Bus to be repaired in order to visit the festival.
Sandy's shop will not be open for the duration of the festival, however the player may still enter the Oasis. The Desert Trader is still present and her shop is accessible.
Several challenges and attractions offer the ability to earn this festival's currency, Calico Eggs. Calico Eggs are physical items within game that can be used to purchase several different items from the various shops during the Desert Festival.

The Races
Throughout the day, players may bet on races that take place, and if the correct contestant is chosen, will receive 20 Calico Eggs per win. This is repeatable up until 11pm when the final race of the day ends.
The player can also cheat the race by giving the Suspicious Man next to the Oasis a Calico Egg in exchange for one of the race contestants of the player's choosing losing the race.

Emily's Outfit Services
Emily and Sandy offer the player a new outfit daily with a short cutscene in which she will pick the clothing that "embodies the player". The player's original outfit is placed in their inventory.
Chef
The Chef gives the player a choice of ingredients to make them a meal with varying effects depending on the ingredients chosen. The player may do so repeatedly, and choose different ingredients each time. The meal will be eaten and any effects will be applied immediately.
