Once per season in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, there’s a big festival happening in Forgotten Valley that sees everyone from around 🐼town come out to spend some time together enjoying the company. Festivals are a great way to get closer to select townsfolk, or just to kick back and watch a few wholesome cutscenes after a busy season on the farm.
We’ve attended all four of the celebrations in A Wonderful Life, and below, you’ll find all the details about each seasonal event in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, including times, dates, bonus affection oppor🦩tunities, and more.
Updated on July 14, 2023: Now that Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life has been out for a bit and we've continued our guide coverage of it, we wanted to circle back to our Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life festival guide with more information and hyperlinks. Specifically, we've added new info on your Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life wish every year when the shooting stars arrive in Winter, to help you get the most out of the Starlight Concert.
Spring Festival: The New Year's Celebration
As soon as you leave your house on Spring One, you'll receive a visit from Sebastian, telling you that Romana is hosting a large New Year's event over at the Villa that day, from 10AM-5PM.
He asks if you're able to provide a dish for the pot luck dinner they're aiming to serve, requesting that you bring a dish you cooked to share.
Anytime in that window, head over to the Villa, where a cutscene with Sebastian plays, so that he can take the dish you've brought.
You can still go to the festival if you don't bring a dish., but you'll miss Romana complimenting your food if you don't.
Summer Festival: Fireworks Festival
On Summer Two, there's a Fireworks Festival at the Beach from 6-11PM (so long as it's not raining that day).
Charlie and Cole have been busy preparing a show, and the whole town is invited to watch.To trigger the event, either go to the Beach after 6PM, or return to your house instead to receive a 🍃personal ওescort to the festival.
If you're viewing the Fireworks Festival in the first year, and you aren't engaged, you'll be able to ask someone to watch fireworks with you, which will boost your affection with them.
Your family will join you automatically af🐈ter the first year, with your child reacting differently each year as they age.
Autumn Festival: The Harvest Festival
On Autumn Five, leaving your house that morning results in a visit from Vesta, who's come to tell you that she and Lou are putting on a Harvest Festival that day from 10AM-5PM over at the Lei-Over Inn.
They're making stew, so Vesta asks that you bring a crop or edible animal product from your farm to contribute to the massive dish.
Walking into the Inn during t𒁃his time frame yields a cutscene with Lou where she takesꩲ your offering.
You can still go to the festival if you didn't bring a crop, but the cutscene plays out a bit differently.
Winter Festival: The Starlight Concert
On Winter Five between 6-11PM (again, so long as the weather is good), Gustafa will be putting on a concert at his Yurt. To trigger the concert, either go to Gustafa's Yurt in the time frame specified, or return home to be escorted there.Your first year, you can ask someone to watch with you, and you'll have a few opportunities throughout the night to get closer to the person you asked.
Again, you💟r fami𒐪ly automatically joins you after the first year.
Making A Wish
After the music is finished, there will be shooting stars, and whoever you're watching the shooting stars with will urge you to make a wish before they vanish.
Your Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life wish options change every year to reflect your progress through the game, incorporating friendships, family, animals, or income for the most part.
You're giving four options each year, and you're able to select only one. They will be different enough not to overlap, and you get what you wish for, so be sure to make it count!
