The Animal Festival, like other seasonal events in *Fields of Mistria*, is an annual affair. Miss it this year? No worries, it returns next winter!

The festival arrives on the 10th day of Winter. This gives you plenty of time to prepare your animals for their big moment. After all, a well-cared-for animal is a prize-winning animal!

Winning the Animal Festival

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

Entering the Contest

1. Head to the festival grounds and speak to Josephine at the counter.
2. She'll direct you to the booths behind her to register your animals.
3. Josephine offers valuable tips: a higher heart count for your animal significantly boosts your score (petting, feeding, and outdoor time help!). Rare coat colors also give you an edge.
4. Talk to Terithia (left booth) to enter large animals and Landen (right booth) for small animals.
5. Once you've chosen your contestants, tell Josephine you're ready to "start the judging."

Prizes

A cutscene reveals the winners for both small and large animal categories. Winning against Hayden's Henrietta (chicken) and Sunshine (cow) earns you top honors in each bracket. Your prizes depend on your placement. Keep in mind that winning first place in your first year might be challenging, as fully maximizing your animal's hearts and obtaining rare coat colors requires time and farm upgrades.

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