Harvest Festivals are seasonal Festivals that occurs on the 28th of every season. These festivals largely consist of players having to present Simone with a vegetable of their choice that they wish to include into the contest. These vegetables will then be judged, with the player being asked questions afterwards to justify their vegetable's right to have the top spot.
Players can begin the Festival by presenting Simone with a fully grown crop on the day of the Festival beginning at 11 AM onwards.

The villagers which ask questions at the Festival are chosen randomly, but are determined at the start of the day. Each villager has 2 questions which they will randomly choose between. If you find your score in the Harvest Festival likely to be just shy of success, it's a good idea to save before the festival day and try again giving different answers.
Since the villagers who appear are set that day, and ask only 2 possible questions each, with a few tries, you'll likely be able to get all answers correct and get a higher placement than before. Unfortunately, there's no clear indication of whether your answers were right or wrong, so you'll have to judge from the points you received at the end whether your answers were correct.

Although any crop that is "in-season" can be used to compete, these are the best crops that players can go for when trying to win the Harvest Festivals during the first full year in the game.
The Crops presented at the Festival are judged on three factors – Seasonality, Crop Level, and Growth Speed. The first step is to choose a crop which is in season for the season the Harvest Festival will be in.
Steps to Grow a Winning Crop |
---|
|
Each time the Crop is ready for harvest, use the Sickle on it to get higher-level seeds than the ones which were planted. Replanting these seeds and repeating this process each time will gradually raise the level of the resulting Crop, yielding a better score in the Harvest Festival.
