fields of mistria festival calendar: dates and rewards

This fields of mistria festival calendar guide separates scheduled festivals from the Wiki’s explicitly not yet implemented entries. Plan only the four current annual festivals and their documented lead-up days.

Cooking Contest, Beach Day, Crop Festival, Halloween Festival, Gift Festival, and New Year's Eve are marked not yet implemented.

Do not book a wedding on festival preparation days

NPC Studio's v1.0.3 patch notes say Spring 14, Fall 7, and Winter 7 cannot be selected as wedding dates. If an older save already has one of those dates selected, the notes warn that it can prevent that year's Spring Festival or Harvest Festival from occurring. Check the calendar before confirming a wedding plan, then choose a different date if it conflicts.

Spring Festival: collect from Spring 14, attend on Spring 17

1. On Spring 14, watch Celine's introductory scene.
2. During the collection window, do tasks that normally generate Essence, such as farming, fishing or mining. Breath of Spring can drop from these actions; it is not a guaranteed drop for every action.
3. Keep the flowers. Celine collects them on the morning of Spring 17, including flowers stored in chests.
4. Enter town for the results, then visit the souvenir, clothing and food stalls. Your collection total also affects available stock.

Aim for 60 if you want every collection prize. Stopping at 50 wins first place but misses the deluxe wreath. Below 10 does not earn a placing prize.

Spring Festival shops and unlock tiers

Before leaving the Spring Festival, check all three stalls. The table below separates paid stock from the placing prizes above; it preserves each shop's source-listed unlock tier.

The ordinary 500t Flower Crown is not the Special Flower Crown awarded for first place. Likewise, buying a basket or planter is separate from receiving one as a competition prize. Food-stall purchases are finished food, not recipe scrolls.

Which activities drop festival collectibles?

The checked Breath of Spring record, revision 62650 and Queen Berry record, revision 62649 list the same chances during their respective collection windows. Use this table for Spring 14–16 or the autumn collection period beginning Fall 7, before Reina collects the berries on Fall 10.

Fish Traps produce neither collectible. Each successful roll adds one collectible alongside the normal reward. A charged tool hitting several rocks checks each rock separately; the whole swing does not share one roll.

For a practical collection day, take ready animal products first, then use nearby dive spots and fishing opportunities. Cutting grass has a much lower chance per target, so do not spend the entire collection window mowing in place of those activities. This is a route suggestion, not a promise of the most items per minute: travel, catch time and available animals differ between farms. No listed probability guarantees a fixed total.

Neither collectible can be sold or gifted. Stored copies count when the host collects them; Queen Berries left on the ground also count. Check your total before the collection morning against 60 Breath of Spring for every spring prize or 50 Queen Berries for first place in autumn.

Shooting Star Festival: invitation and evening trigger

On Summer 28, Elsie visits in the morning and gives you a Shooting Star Brooch, even if you intend to attend alone.

1. Before the evening, give the brooch to a romance candidate with at least four hearts and confirm that the invitation is accepted. Best Friend-path rejection responses are listed separately in the source; heart count alone does not override that relationship choice.
2. Finish farm care, deliveries and anything else you still need to do that day.
3. Talk to the accepted invitee at 8 PM or later to trigger the viewing scene. The festival is associated with the Summit; do not wait for a competition registration board.
4. The day ends after the scene. You cannot use the remaining evening for errands.

The source also describes speaking to Caldarus's statue at night for a separate stargazing scene. See the romance guide if the invitation and your relationship path do not match.

Harvest Festival: Queen Berries and prizes

1. On Fall 7, Reina introduces the Queen Berry collection.
2. Collect through the eligible activities in the festival drop table. Animal produce, dive spots and rod fishing have higher per-target chances than cutting grass; Fish Traps never produce Queen Berries.
3. Reina collects all accumulated berries on the morning of Fall 10, including stored ones.
4. Enter town for the result. Keep money for Nora's souvenir stall beside the Blacksmith and Hayden's pumpkin patch.

Less than 10 does not place. The source's old “Queen Berry Trophy” link redirects to Golden Queen Berry Trophy; these are not two separate prizes.

Nora's stall has the following listed stock. Food, recipe scrolls and decorations are distinct purchases:

At Hayden's pumpkin patch, interact with the Pumpkin Sign and pay 200t per decorative pumpkin. Size and colour are random; payment does not let you select a particular variant. For the dance, the source requires four hearts or more and a romantic-interest path, not Best Friend.

Decorative pumpkin collection checklist

Hayden's random purchase has five shapes with six listed colours each, for 30 documented appearances. Each row below supports orange, yellow, green, purple, black and white.

Record both shape and colour after each purchase. The source does not publish the odds or promise no duplicates, so 30 purchases does not guarantee a complete collection. These are decorative purchases, separate from the Queen Berry competition prizes.

Weekly events are not annual festivals

Saturday Market becomes available after Repair the Bridge; Friday Night at the Inn recurs on Fridays. Neither uses the Spring flower or Harvest berry prize thresholds. Use the cooking guide for recipe preparation and the gift guide for a resident's actual preferences rather than assuming a festival changes them.

Friday evening: advance the Inn stories without losing a missed week

1. Visit the Sleeping Dragon Inn on Friday from 18:00 (6 PM). This is a weekly gathering, not a once-a-year festival.
2. Talk to the groups inside to progress their storylines. Returning to the building alone is not a substitute for interacting with the residents.
3. Return on a later Friday for the next part. Missing a week leaves the story at your current point; it does not skip that episode because the calendar moved on. The source's “season one” describes story order, not a deadline that permanently expires at the end of your first spring.

The pinned source records five seasons of storylines. Once those are exhausted, residents still gather on Friday evenings but return to ordinary dialogue; that alone does not mean the event is broken. Event timing and progression, revision 62713.

Animal Festival: register and work out your score

On Winter 10, go to the town square. Enter up to one small animal (chicken, duck, rabbit or capybara) and one large animal (cow, horse, sheep or alpaca); the two classes are scored separately.

1. Check hearts and colour tier in the animal's Journal profile.
2. Use the signup board at the Small Animals or Large Animals stall. Register both entries before judging if entering both classes.
3. Talk to Josephine to start judging and the reward scene.
4. Check the animal's Journal profile afterward for a placing-specific ribbon icon (small animal) or trophy icon (large animal).

The source infobox and prose disagree about which registration stall Landen and Terithia run. Follow the size label and signup board rather than an unverified NPC assignment.

Show scoring and prize spoilers

Score = heart points + colour-tier points. At 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10 hearts, heart points are 0/5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45.

Colour tier	Points
1	20
2	25
3	30
4	35
5	40
6	45

Total score	Placing	Small class: prizes matching the entered species	Large class: prizes matching the entered species
65+	First	Blue wearable ribbon and blue display ribbon	Blue wearable ribbon and gold trophy
50–64	Second	Red wearable ribbon and red display ribbon	Red wearable ribbon and silver trophy
35–49	Third	White wearable ribbon and white display ribbon	White wearable ribbon and bronze trophy
Below 35	No placing	No ranked prize	No ranked prize

Third-place plush prizes are chicken + duck in the small class and cow + horse in the large class. Second adds rabbit / sheep; first adds capybara / alpaca, with lower-tier plush prizes included.

Tier 1 + 10 hearts = 20 + 45 = 65: a common colour can win first place. Tier 2 + 6 hearts gives 50, enough for second. Improve the weaker input using the animal care and breeding guide.

Animal Festival shopping

Nora runs the souvenir stall beside the Blacksmith. The first four purchases below are always listed; the animal accessories require the corresponding species to be unlocked. Winning a competition is not the shop's listed unlock condition.

For a recipe-only trip, bring 1,600t for both scrolls. The sixteen animal accessories cost 8,000t in total if every species is unlocked and you buy one of each. These are purchase budgets, not prize values.
