Spirit Festival (HM64)

The  Spirit Festival is a festival in Harvest Moon 64.

It is held on the 27th of Winter to celebrate the warding off of evil spirits from village. It is held in the Village Square; the Harvest King of that year chooses three people to perform a musical ceremony.

If the player has high affection with whoever is the Harvest King, that villager will come by the player's farm the day before and ask them to participate in the festival's musical performance. The player will play the ocarina if they purchased it from Saibara. If they don't have it, the player will ring a bell.

If the player is the Harvest King, they can choose three of any combination of the bachelors and/or bachelorettes to participate in the festival later in the year they become King. The bachelors will each play the ocarina, and the bachelorettes will use a unique talent as part of the performance (example: Karen will dance, Maria will sing).
