Fields of Mistria Calendar — Every Birthday, Festival & Season

Fields of Mistria runs on a four-season calendar, and the game itself tells you about birthdays and festivals at the start of each day — but planning ahead still pays: birthday gifts are worth double hearts, seasonal fish and bugs are single-season exclusives, and festival shops rotate stock.

This guide covers the seasonal structure, the event types, and how to use the calendar for the gift guide and fishing guide.

The Four Seasons

Each season runs a standard farm-sim length with its own crop, fish, and forage tables:

• Spring — the starting season; early crops, common fish, forage-rich map
• Summer — high-value crops; the money season for farming (see the beginner's guide for the crop math)
• Autumn — mixed tables; several best-in-class forage items
• Winter — the challenge season; fishing and the mines carry the economy when crops stall

Festivals

Festivals are the town's seasonal events, with special shops and activities:

• Spring festival — the early-season celebration; the "Breath of Spring" (a 2026 rising search) ties into this window's event content
• Summer / Autumn / Winter festivals — each season has its own event with rotating festival stock and minigames
• Saturday Market — the recurring weekly market (Stillwell's mission board lives there in 1.0, see the characters guide)

Birthdays

• Every villager has a birthday — the game announces them at day start, and gifting on a birthday gives roughly double heart value.
• The marriage candidates' birthdays are the highest-value days of the year for romance progression — see the romance guide.
• The community wiki maintains the complete birthday list, updated for the 1.0 roster (34 villagers including Stillwell and Zorel).

Planning With the Calendar

1. Set birthday gift reminders for your romance candidates — two gifts a week plus birthday doubles is the fastest heart route.
2. Time seasonal catches — check the fishing guide before the season flips.
3. Pre-plant festival windows — festival shops buy specific items at a premium; plan crops a week ahead.
4. Use the Saturday Market for gift stock — cheap liked items every week beat rare loved items you have to grind.

The Weekly Rhythm and Season Length

Beyond the four festivals, the calendar runs on a repeating weekly rhythm (per the wiki.gg Calendar Events data):

• Saturday Market — weekly once you complete the "Repair the Bridge" story quest; Stillwell's mission board lives there in 1.0.
• Friday Night at the Inn — the weekly gathering that follows several town storylines; a good day to find every villager in one place for gifts.
• Dates — you can schedule a date with a romanceable villager twice per week (Saturday and Sunday), day-of.

Each season runs 28 days, which is the real clock behind "miss it, wait a year": a single-season fish or bug missed on, say, Summer 28 costs a full 28-day rotation to come back. The wiki.gg calendar also lists datamined future events — a Cooking Contest, Beach Day, Crop Festival, Halloween, Gift Festival and New Year's Eve are all slotted in the data for post-1.0 updates (tracked in the update guide).
