Fields of Mistria Calendar — Every Birthday, Festival & Season (1.0)

Fields of Mistria Calendar — Every Birthday, Festival & Season (1.0)
A Fields of Mistria year is 112 days long — four seasons of 28 days each — and every season has exactly one festival. Birthdays are the dates that actually matter for progression: a gift on a villager's birthday is worth double points, so a loved birthday gift is the single most efficient relationship boost in the game.
This guide lays out the full 1.0 calendar: every villager birthday by season, the four festivals with their dates and what happens, the weather patterns per season, and how to plan around all of it.
Here's what you'll learn:
- The Mistria year: 112 days, four 28-day seasons, day length options
- All four festivals: Spring Festival, Shooting Star Festival, Harvest Festival, Animal Festival
- Every one of the 34 villager birthdays, season by season
- Weather patterns (rain/snow and windy days per season) and what they unlock
- A gifting strategy built around birthday double-points
The Mistria Year at a Glance
Each season is 28 days, so a full year is 112 days. A day runs 15 real minutes at the standard pace, or 16.5 and 18 minutes at the two slower settings (Longer and Longest) available in the time settings.
The first in-game week has a scripted forecast (calm, calm, calm, inclement, calm, special, then heavy inclement); after that, weather is rolled per season. The calendar is mostly about two things: birthdays and which season a crop or fish belongs to. Villagers keep their normal routines on festival days, so nothing else gets cancelled.
The Four Festivals
| Festival | Season | Day | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Festival | Spring | 17 | Town celebration; placing in the top three adds friendship with villagers |
| Shooting Star Festival | Summer | 28 (last day) | Night meteor shower; invite a romance candidate (4+ hearts) with a Star Brooch, then head to the Summit from 8 PM |
| Harvest Festival | Fall | 10 | Autumn harvest celebration |
| Animal Festival | Winter | 10 | Ranch animal contest; score = 15 + tier × 5 + (hearts − 1) × 5 |
Spring Festival (Spring 17). The first festival of the year. Finishing in the top three of the festival activity gives a friendship boost with the villagers — a free heart-point injection early in Year 1 when you need it most.
Shooting Star Festival (Summer 28). The most romance-heavy festival. On the morning of the day, Elsie meets you outside your house and explains the tradition (first year). You can craft three festival decorations — a Star Lantern, a Star Viewing Blanket and a Star Cushion — and offer a Star Brooch to invite someone to the festival as your date. They won't accept unless they have at least four hearts. From 8 PM you can head to the Summit alone for a good view; if you take a date, you get unique follow-up dialogue over the next few days.
Heading to the Summit ends your festival day — you can't return to town or your farm before the day ends. Make sure everything is squared away (crops watered, animals fed, shipping bin done) before you go.
Harvest Festival (Fall 10). The autumn celebration mid-Fall. Fall is also the season with the most birthdays clustered around the first half, so expect a busy gifting fortnight.
Animal Festival (Winter 10). The ranch contest. Bring your highest-tier animal and max its hearts — the score formula (15 + tier × 5 + (hearts − 1) × 5) weights both equally. See our animals guide for the full breeding and tier system.
Spring Birthdays
| Day | Villager |
|---|---|
| Spring 4 | Ryis (Carpenter, romanceable) |
| Spring 6 | Zorel (Music Vendor) |
| Spring 10 | Olric (Part-Timer) |
| Spring 13 | Taliferro (Chef) |
| Spring 16 | March (Blacksmith, romanceable) |
| Spring 21 | Luc (Entomologist) |
| Spring 25 | Caldarus (Dragon, romanceable) |
Spring has three romanceable birthdays — Ryis, March and Caldarus. Ryis loves Hard Wood and Golden Duck Feather, March loves Perfect ores and Gold Ingot, and Caldarus loves Apple Honey Curry and Harvest Plate — all reasonably easy to stockpile by mid-Spring.
Summer Birthdays
| Day | Villager |
|---|---|
| Summer 2 | Elsie (Retired Socialite) |
| Summer 6 | Vera (Hair Stylist) |
| Summer 10 | Balor (Merchant, romanceable) |
| Summer 14 | Celine (Gardener, romanceable) |
| Summer 16 | Josephine (Inn Co-Owner) |
| Summer 20 | Eiland (Archaeologist, romanceable) |
| Summer 24 | Nora (General Store) |
| Summer 26 | Maple (Royalty Expert) |
Summer is the romance-heavy season: four romanceable birthdays, with Celine (Summer 14) loving flowers and Eiland (Summer 20) loving Chocolate Cake. The Shooting Star Festival at Summer 28 makes the season's end the natural time to push a relationship past 4 hearts for the festival invite.
Fall Birthdays
| Day | Villager |
|---|---|
| Fall 1 | Valen (Doctor, romanceable) |
| Fall 4 | Landen (Carpenter) |
| Fall 6 | Merri (Furniture Vendor) |
| Fall 12 | Reina (Inn Cook, romanceable) |
| Fall 14 | Holt (General Store) |
| Fall 16 | Dozy (Bathhouse) |
| Fall 20 | Louis (Clothing Vendor) |
| Fall 22 | Terithia (Fisherwoman) |
| Fall 26 | Juniper (Bathhouse, romanceable) |
Fall opens with Valen's birthday on Fall 1 — a romanceable candidate who loves Beet and Beet Soup, which you can grow and cook from early game. Juniper at Fall 26 is the last romanceable birthday of the year; her loved gifts (Crystal Rose, Fish Tacos, Golden Cookies) are all obtainable by then.
Winter Birthdays
| Day | Villager |
|---|---|
| Winter 2 | Seridia (Dragon, romanceable) |
| Winter 3 | Dell (Dragonguard) |
| Winter 6 | Wheedle (Salesman) |
| Winter 7 | Henrietta (Prize Chicken) |
| Winter 8 | Hayden (Sweetwater Farm, romanceable) |
| Winter 11 | Errol (Museum Curator) |
| Winter 13 | Darcy (Cafe Vendor) |
| Winter 18 | Adeline (Town Leader, romanceable) |
| Winter 23 | Hemlock (Bartender) |
| Winter 27 | Stillwell (Fortune Teller) |
Winter has the most birthdays (10), including the town leader Adeline (Winter 18 — she loves Coffee, which the Inn sells). The Animal Festival on Winter 10 splits the season into two gifting runs.
Weather Patterns & What They Matter For
After the scripted first week, weather is rolled per season:
| Season | Rain/snow days | Windy days |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4-6 | 4-6 |
| Summer | 4-6 | 0 |
| Fall | 4-6 | 4-6 |
| Winter | 4-6 | 0 |
The windy-day split matters if you're fishing for wind-dependent legendary fish — spring and fall are your only windows. Rain and snow days are free watering days (crops get watered automatically), so use them for mines, fishing or town time instead of farm chores.
How to Plan Around the Calendar
Birthdays are the highest-value dates on the calendar. Any gift is worth an extra 20 heart points on a birthday, so a loved gift gives 40 instead of 20. Plan a week ahead: many loved gifts are seasonal crops or forage, and some (Caldarus's curry dishes, Adeline's Middlemist) are only easy to stockpile in their own season.
Save 3-4 of a character's loved gifts and time them for the birthday week: one normal gift per day plus a 40-point birthday gift clears the gap between hearts quickly. If you're chasing a romanceable candidate, combine this with the Shooting Star Festival invite (Summer 28, needs 4+ hearts) for the best relationship year you can have.
Crops don't carry over between seasons. Anything still in the ground on day 28 dies at the season rollover, so plan harvests to finish before each season's end — and remember Summer 28 is also the Shooting Star Festival, so it's a busy last day.
