	If ~~it is~~ a festival ~~day other than~~ the [[Desert Festival]], [[Trout Derby]], [[SquidFest]], or [[Night Market]] ~~animals do~~ not need to be fed; the game will automatically consider them fed.		Time does not pass during most festivals, with four exceptions. If the player chooses to attend a festival, upon leaving they will be returned to [[the Farm]] late at night. For most festivals, [[animals]] do not need to be fed; the game will automatically consider them fed. If the player has [[children]] of Stage 4 (toddler) age, they will attend the festival together with the player.

			The four festivals in which time continues to pass are the [[Desert Festival]], [[Trout Derby]], [[SquidFest]], and [[Night Market]]; unlike other festivals, shops and homes throughout Stardew Valley are not closed on the days of the event, and time continues to pass during the festival. Animals also need to be fed during the event; the game will not automatically consider them to be fed. Children do not attend these four festivals.

	Attendance at festivals is entirely optional. Speaking to villagers at festivals will increase friendship points, the same as any other day. Some festivals can have special effects on friendship, such as increasing friendship with every known villager, or increased friendship for gifting.		Attendance at festivals is entirely optional.
