The Animal Festival, like other seasonal events in *Fields of Mistria*, occurs annually on the 10th day of Winter. Don't worry if you miss it one year; you'll have another chance the following year. This gives you plenty of time to prepare your animals for the big day.

How to Win the Animal Festival in Fields of Mistria

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

Entering the Animal Festival Contest

Head to the festival grounds and speak to Josephine. She'll guide you to the entry booths. There are two important factors affecting your score:

  • Animal Affection: More hearts (earned through petting, feeding, and letting them outside on sunny days) mean a higher score.
  • Coat Color Rarity: Unique coat colors (pink, blue, etc.) boost your chances.

A cutscene reveals the winners for both small and large animal categories. Winning against Hayden's Henrietta (chicken) and Sunshine (cow) earns you top prizes! Your rewards depend on your placement. Winning in your first year might be challenging, as maximizing your animals' hearts and obtaining rare coat colors takes time and farm upgrades.

Consistent animal care and farm upgrades significantly increase your chances of winning in future years. This concludes our *Fields of Mistria* Animal Festival guide. Check out our other guides, including how to access the Deep Woods!
