Festivals are special events in Stardew Valley. Each season has two festivals. Mayor Lewis will send you a letter in advance of each festival, describing when and where it will take place. Attending festivals is optional. On the day of the festival, a pop-up on left-hand side of the screen will let you know when the festival has begun. Time does not pass during a festival, so feel free to take your time exploring and talking! When a festival ends, you will be returned to The Farm late at night.

If it is a festival day, animals do not need to be fed; the game will automatically consider them fed.

Spring

Egg Festival

Main page: Egg Festival

The Egg Festival takes place on the 13th of every Spring. You enter the festival by entering Pelican Town Square between 9am and 2pm. When the festival ends, you will be returned to The Farm at 10pm.

The featured attraction of the Egg Festival is the Egg Hunt. You and the other villagers search for small colored eggs hidden around Pelican Town. The Egg Hunt starts by talking to Mayor Lewis. You must gather 9 colored eggs (in 50 seconds, real time), or else Abigail will win. If you win, you will receive a Straw Hat as a reward. If you have already won an Egg Hunt in previous years, you will receive data-sort-value="1000">1,000g.

There is a booth set up where you can purchase a decorative Plush Bunny and Strawberry Seeds. (If you plant the seeds the same night as the festival, you will be able to harvest Strawberries two times before Summer).

The festival ends after Mayor Lewis announces the winner of the Egg Hunt.

Flower Dance

Main page: Flower Dance

The Flower Dance event takes place on the 24th of every Spring. You enter the dance by entering Cindersap Forest between 9am and 2pm. When the festival ends, you will be returned to The Farm at 10pm.

The dance takes place in the far west of the forest, across the bridge that is south of the Wizard's Tower. This area is accessible only during the Flower Dance.

There is a booth set up where you can purchase a Dandelion, Daffodil, Tub o' Flowers, and Rarecrow #5.

During this festival, you can dance with one of the bachelors or bachelorettes. You must talk to them (twice) and invite them to dance, but they will refuse unless you have four hearts of friendship with them. You can talk to the other villagers and they will have event-related dialogue.

Dancing will increase friendship with your partner by 1 heart (250 points).

Once you talk to Mayor Lewis, the dance begins. The festival ends after the dance is performed.

Watch Flower Dance Video.

Summer

Luau

The Luau takes place on the 11th of every Summer. You enter the Luau by entering The Beach between 9am and 2pm. When the festival ends, you will be returned to The Farm at 10pm.

People of the town bring different ingredients to prepare a soup for the Governor; talk to Mayor Lewis to begin the soup-judging event.

Bugs

Time passes differently on The Farm than inside farm buildings during festivals. This is most noticeable if the player has a shed/coop/barn full of Kegs or Preserves Jars, with one left outside to indicate when processing is done. The keg or preserves jar outside the building will advance processing time more quickly than those inside the building.
