Dance of the Moonlight Jellies
The Dance of the Moonlight Jellies is a Festival that takes place at night on the 28th of every Summer at The Beach. The player can choose to attend the festival by entering the area between 10 pm and 12 pm. When the festival ends, they will be returned to The Farm at midnight.
On the festival day, the player cannot enter the beach before 10 pm. Using a Warp Totem: Beach or Water Obelisk before 10 pm will result in a popup box saying "Today's festival is being set up. Come back later." In addition, the Warp Totem: Beach will be consumed without transporting the player anywhere.
During the festival, villagers gather at the docks to watch migrating jellyfish attracted to the lights set up. Pierre will set up a stall in the northwest corner of the beach to sell items. Even if the wooden bridge to the east hasn't been repaired this will not affect the festival scene, where it will be temporarily repaired allowing the player to speak to the characters in that area (namely Robin and family, Leah, and the Wizard in the dark northeastern corner).
Talk to Mayor Lewis to begin the special event of the festival, where in a cutscene Mayor Lewis will light a torch to attract more jellyfish. The festival ends automatically after watching the jellyfish cutscene. If the player is married (or engaged), their spouse (or fiancé) will stand next to them during the festival. If the player has any Crab Pots placed in the water on the beach when the Dance occurs, the pots will not be present upon arrival but will appear during the cutscene.
