Fields of Mistria Festivals — Spring Festival, Shooting Star & Full Year

Fields of Mistria runs four annual festivals, one per season, plus the recurring weekly events (Saturday Market and Friday Night at the Inn). Two of them — the Spring Festival and the Shooting Star Festival — are the ones players search for most, because they're the most mechanics-heavy: both are collection events with ranking prizes, and the Shooting Star Festival is the game's date-night centerpiece.

This guide covers every festival, its schedule, activities, prizes, and stall runs. For birthdays and the weekly rhythm, see the calendar guide.

The Festival Schedule at a Glance

Weekly events: Saturday Market (after "Repair the Bridge") and Friday Night at the Inn. The wiki.gg event calendar also lists datamined future festivals (Cooking Contest, Beach Day, Crop Festival, Halloween, Gift Festival, New Year's Eve) that the developers have slated for post-1.0 updates — the update guide covers the roadmap.

Official source: the wiki.gg Calendar Events page documents the full annual festival schedule and the not-yet-implemented events.

Spring Festival (Spring 17) — Breath of Spring

The Spring Festival is a collection race. Here's how it works, per the wiki.gg Spring Festival page:

• Spring 14: a cutscene triggers where Celine tells you you can now collect Breath of Spring flowers and that the festival is on the 17th.
• Collecting: Breath of Springs spawn anywhere you'd normally earn Essence — farming, fishing, mining, bug catching — so they accumulate as a side effect of normal play. They're collected even from chests, so storage is safe.
• Ranking prizes (on the morning of the 17th, Celine collects your haul):

• If you don't rank, Celine comes in first, Errol second, Dell third.
• Stalls: Souvenir Stall (Nora & Holt), Clothing Stall (Adeline & Elsie), Food Stall (Maple). The festival's appearance upgrades as you collect more flowers (10-29, 30-49, 50+).

Shooting Star Festival (Summer 28) — The Date Event

The Shooting Star Festival is Fields of Mistria's romance event — and it's why the keyword keeps rising. Details from the wiki.gg Shooting Star Festival page:

• Morning: Elsie greets you first thing and gives you a Shooting Star Brooch — even if you plan to attend alone.
• Inviting a date: give the brooch to any datable townsfolk. You need 4+ hearts with them for them to accept; below that, they'll suggest you invite someone closer to you.
• The event: talk to your chosen NPC at 8 PM or later to trigger the cutscene — you watch the stars together at The Summit. Day ends when the cutscene finishes, so do it last.
• The Caldarus option: talk to the Statue of Caldarus at 8 PM for exclusive dialogue and stargazing with him — a path for the Caldarus route.
• Rewards: festival furniture and keepsakes — the Star Lantern, Star Viewing Blanket, Star Cushion, Star-Shaped Cookie, and the Shooting Star Date Photo (a photo card of your date, placeable in your house).

Harvest Festival (Fall 10) — Queen Berries

The autumn festival works like the Spring Festival but with Queen Berries, per the wiki.gg Harvest Festival page:

• Fall 7: Reina triggers a cutscene explaining the collection window.
• Queen Berries spawn from the same Essence-rewarding activities; Reina collects them on festival morning (chest storage safe).
• Activities: prizes announced, a Dance, and a Community Feast.
• Stalls: Souvenir Stall (Nora) and a Pumpkin Patch run by Hayden.

Animal Festival (Winter 10) — The Animal Contest

The winter festival is a livestock show, per the wiki.gg Animal Festival page:

• Winter 7: Adeline informs you about the upcoming competition.
• Enter one Large and one Small animal (registration: Terithia for large, Landen for small).
• Prizes: win at least 3rd place to earn pieces of the Animal Festival set (cosmetics and decor); the Souvenir Stall sells animal cosmetics, food, and recipes.
• Famous contestants: Hayden's cow Sunshine, Merri's horse Swiftwind, and Louis's rabbit Mortimer all compete — the animals guide explains how animal quality scores.

Festival Prep Checklist

1. Spring: play normally after Spring 14 to bank Breath of Springs; check the gift guide for stall purchase opportunities.
2. Summer: pick your Shooting Star date early — 4+ hearts needed — and keep the evening of Summer 28 free.
3. Fall: Queen Berry collection is automatic; enjoy the feast.
4. Winter: register animals before Winter 10; befriend them in fall.
