The '''Spirit's Eve''' [[Festivals|festival]] takes place on the 27th of [[Fall]] every year. The player enters the festival by entering [[Pelican Town]] between 10:00 pm and 11:50 pm (note that at 11:50 pm it is too late to enter), and upon leaving the festival, is returned to [[The Farm]] at 12:00 am.

The festival features a maze where the [[Golden Pumpkin]] can be obtained. According to townsfolk rumours, the maze was supposedly created by the [[Wizard]]. [[Pierre]] has a shopping booth where the player can purchase festive items including a [[Scarecrow#Rarecrows|rarecrow]], a [[Jack-O-Lantern]], and the Jack-O-Lantern recipe.

The haunted maze was supposedly set up by M. Rasmodius, the [[Wizard]]. The [[villagers]] say he was so committed to creating a frightening maze that it took him all day to set it up.

A large majority of the townspeople are either frightened or confused by the maze (especially [[Abigail]], who can't continue because she cannot walk past spiders). [[Jodi]] does not allow [[Vincent]] to go in the maze because it is "too scary for children". However, in the second year maze, [[Vincent]] goes in the maze with [[Sam]] and [[Abigail]] does not participate.

On the Player's first year the haunted maze is a small and fairly simple challenge that should be easy for players to navigate. By the second year and onward, the maze changes to a new larger and much more complex maze that contains both a Golden Pumpkin and a [[Prize Ticket]].

Like all mazes, the "keep going left" mentality is present here. Just keep on going left; it isn't a huge maze. It may be worth it to stop and talk to the characters, as some of the dialogue can be amusing.

The trick to reaching the end is to take the secret passage, which begins just underneath and to the left of the "?" signpost, and continues over to the section of the maze with [[Sam]] and [[Vincent]]. Look for the "chicken-legged" house and another "?" signpost. There is another secret passage up and to the right of the sign. Wearing a ring which provides light, such as the [[Glow Ring]], allows the player to track position and movement more easily. Exiting the passage puts the player into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a Prize Ticket.

*The inaccessible area at the right of town contains the [[Abandoned House]] instead of the [[JojaMart]]. This can be seen by opening the festival map in a map editor.

*The top right of the maze contains a hut on chickens legs, a reference to the Slavic folklore character [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga Baba Yaga]. The path leading to the hut has three pairs of disembodied hands, a reference to the Russian fairy-tale [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilisa_the_Beautiful Vasilisa the Beautiful], which features Baba Yaga.

*A transparent dialogue bubble can be seen above the [[Wizard]] or [[Linus]] while the player is hovering their mouse over them. Clicking on either character won't produce a dialogue, but the dialogue can be found in the game's data files.
