The Animal Festival, like other seasonal events, occurs annually in *Fields of Mistria*. Don't worry if you miss it one year; you'll have another chance the following year. The festival begins on the 10th day of Winter, giving you plenty of time to prepare your animals.

The main event lets you enter up to two animals: one small (chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc.) and one large (cows, alpacas, sheep, etc.). Both must be fully grown adults to participate.

Entering the Contest

Head to the festival grounds and speak to Josephine. She'll direct you to two booths: one for large animals (Terithia) and one for small animals (Landen). Select your best animals from the menus provided.

Josephine offers valuable tips: animals with more hearts (increased by petting, feeding, and letting them outside on sunny days) and rarer coat colors score higher.

A cutscene reveals the winners for both small and large animal categories. Winning against Hayden's Henrietta (chicken) and Sunshine (cow) earns you top prize. Prizes are awarded based on your placing. Winning first place in your first year might be challenging, as it requires fully-hearted animals and potentially rare coat colors. This usually takes time and farm upgrades.

Consistent animal care and farm upgrades significantly improve your chances of winning the gold crown in future years.
