This is a list of Festivals in Rune Factory 5 and a guide on which Festivals you should choose to host. Learn about the differences between the festivals and the advantages of each.
Festivals which fall into the Contest category see villagers competing to get a high score and crown a winner. When you participate in contests, you'll receive a Recipe Bread at the minimum just for participating, and the prizes will improve to include Food and Equipment as you get a better result. Since you'll get a prize no matter what, Contests are the best festivals to host early in the game.
From the start, the Bean-Throwing Festival, Fish Variety Contest, and Buff-a-Move Contest are good choices to host first.
Festivals like the Flower Festival and Beach Day allow you to enjoy conversations with other characters and bring a Marriage Candidate along for a date. These allow you to interact with villagers you don't usually have conversations with, but as all the shops in town will be closed these days, it can be said that the demerits outweigh the merits in the early stages of the game. If you have a date to bring along, you can receive a Present from them, so consider your Friendship Level with other villagers before hosting these Festivals.
