The Trout Derby is a festival that occurs on the 20th and 21st of Summer. The festival begins at 6:10am and ends at 2:00am. During this event, Rainbow Trout are obtainable during the entire day. The festival takes place in Cindersap Forest by the river near Marnie's Ranch. During the festival, players can fish in the river to catch Rainbow Trout. When they catch a Rainbow Trout, there is a 33% chance to get a Golden Tag, which can be obtained with the fish itself or in a Fishing Treasure Chest that appears while catching the Rainbow Trout. Golden Tags can be exchanged for prizes in the booth nearby.

Unlike other festivals, shops and homes throughout Stardew Valley are not closed on the days of the event, and time continues to pass during the festival.

Before the festival starts it is recommended that the player craft a Bait Maker to obtain some Rainbow Trout Bait as it will significantly increase the amount of Rainbow Trout the player can catch each day.
