Harvest Moon Rhapsody - 

Festivals


Each season the villagers will gather together to celebrate.

These
days will be marked on your calendar inside your house with a star, and
on the day of the festival you'll see "FESTIVAL" next to the current
time.
Festivals take place at Rhapsody Square and the entrance way is even decorated.

Some of the festivals require you to donate the supplies needed for the
party. On the day before the celebration, toss whatever item is
required into the shipping box in the Square. If you don't put in the
effort then the festival won't take place!

If the festival is
a simple gathering, the event will be over after you have finished
talking with all of the villagers who are attending.
