Festivals (PoOT)

Participate in local festivals as the town comes to life with over 200 unique events! Get to know your neighbors better and you may even find love with a special someone among them.

Egg Festival (Spring)
The festival starts at 10am and you start the event by entering town. You can't enter the town before the event starts.

Everyone will be gathered in the town square. You can talk to the mayor to start the event. If you have someone with high enough relationship points, you can look for eggs together. The event is just a cut scene, unfortunately, you don't actively search for eggs.

Dog Race (Spring)
The dog race will start at 10am. Everyone will be gathered at the town square. Talk to Georg to begin the event. The race will be hosted on the beach.

For the dog race, you can enter your pet to compete or you can rent a pet for free just for the event.

During the race, your pet will glow either yellow or green and a bubble will appear above the pet indicating which button to tap. You have to hit the button, either A or Y, repeatedly to give your pet an encouragement boost. It is possible to win the race using a rental pet.

Summer Jamboree (Summer)
The Summer Jamboree is a fun interactive event where you smash your hammer into a lever to launch barrels into the sea. There's a slider mechanic to this mini-game, and you want to try to stop the cursor over the blue or red areas to gain points. If your barrel lands on a gray area, you will get 0 points. You will get three tries each round to launch the barrel into the highlighted areas. Each round will take the best out of the three.

You have the choice to do a practice round to learn the controls and take home the victory!

Firework Festival (Summer)
The firework festival starts at around 4pm. Enter the town during then to start the event. Everyone will be gathered near the pier. If you're close with someone, you can invite them to watch the fireworks for you. Once you start the event, you are treated to a very nice cut scene.

Mushroom Festival (Autumn)
The mushroom festival is an interactive mini-game where the player goes around picking up fake mushrooms. The red and yellow mushrooms are worth more than the blue mushrooms, so it's best to target those ones first. The majority of the points are near the starting area and the ranger's building.

Spirit Festival (Autumn)
Just like the fireworks festival, you can enter town before 7pm and start the festival. If you're close with someone, you can invite them to experience the festival with you. After you start the festival, a cut scene will play out.
