How Egg-celent Is the Egg Festival?

The Egg Festival takes place on the 13th of Spring every single year! It bears a striking resemblance to Easter Egg Hunts, but I’m not saying anything. The Egg Festival comes with the gold standard of any decent Festival in Stardew Valley, the fair!

It is so exciting and sweet to see all the residents of Stardew Valley in one place, coming together to be a part of their community!

You can spend time getting caught up with everyone, and what’s exciting is that you can go to the booth and make some significant purchases. My favorite shop item was always the Plush Bunny; it is so cute!

You can also purchase a Lawn Flamingo (equally as fabulous) and some strawberry seeds. You can also buy some other decorative items, such as;

Seasonal plants
Colorful art sets
Pastel Banner
Decorative Pitchfork

Another hilarious but often overlooked feature of the Egg Festival is the cardboard cut-out of the rabbit you can stand behind to make you look like a rabbit. I take advantage of this, especially in multiplayer games.

Of course, the Egg Hunt is the main attraction of the Egg Festival! The basics are this, there are 18 eggs hidden in the Town Centre, and you have 50 seconds to collect as many as possible! I know what you’re thinking; with how slowly you walk in Stardew Valley, you could never collect 18 eggs in 50 seconds!

The good news is that if you want to win in the single-player mode, you only have to beat Abigail! Abigail continuously collects eight eggs, so you only have to get nine to win!

If you win, you will get a rather fetching Straw Hat that I love to wear while farming (or at least until I get my old reliable trash can lid to wear). Eight eggs sound like few, and it’s not, but the 50-second time limit will make it difficult, especially if you do not know where the eggs are!

How to Win the Egg Hunt

There are a few key ways to ensure your success in the Egg Hunt; the first is the most basic. If you’re in, you can win! You must be sure to arrive in the Town Square for the Egg Festival on the 13th of Spring and arrive before 2 pm! The Festival runs 9 am – 2 pm, but to be safe, I always come between 9 am and 10 am!

Now that the easy part is out of the way, you need to make sure that, without a doubt, you can collect at least nine eggs in 50 seconds! It sounds easy, but it is not accessible if you don’t know the locations; it’s also not easy if you take complicated routes and get stuck or lost!

Luckily for you, I spent some time creating this map which shows the locations of the eggs! I also chose super cute purple easter eggs as the design, but I guess that’s irrelevant.
