Festivale

Festivale is a spring event in the that occurs in  and. It takes place in February or March, two days before Ash Wednesday. Pavé hosts the event and during it, confetti falls from the sky and items from the Pavé Series can be obtained.

Festivale is based on Mardi Gras, the last day of Carnival, a festive season occurring before Lent.

Appearances
In both games that Festivale appears in, the player's objective is to collect specific items as requested by Pavé. If the player obtains the items, Pavé will give them an item from the Pavé Series. In, the player must collect candy, and in , the player must collect feathers.

In
In during the day, neighbors walking around the town will challenge the player by asking them to play games, with the chance to win candy. However, if the player loses, they have to give some candy or 500 Bells to the villager. There is no limit of how many games can be played with the neighbors, but only the ones outside of their homes will offer to play games.

The games are as follows:


 * Imaginary Soccer - The neighbor will pretend to be a sports commentator and will act out a soccer scene. In response, the player has to select either I'll kick left/right or I'll protect left/right. The player has to score or protect two times in a row. This will result in the neighbor giving them a random colored item of candy.


 * Rock, Paper, Scissors - The neighbor will play a word game of rock, paper, scissors, and the neighbor will shout their answer. The player has to be the first to get it right two times in a row to win a randomly selected item of candy.


 * Coin Toss - The neighbor will pretend to flip a coin and will ask the player what side they think it will be facing up. Players have to do this 3 times in a row - if they lose at all, they lose the game. When they win, they can pick what color candy they want to receive.


 * What hand the candy is in - The neighbor will ask players which hand they think the candy is in. Their guess must be correct both times in the two rounds. Getting it wrong once will result in a loss. Once they win, they get a random piece of candy.


 * Psychic/ESP Test - The neighbor will ask players what the image in their mind is. Players must get both questions right to get the candy. The first question is out of 3 shapes: either circle, triangle, and square. The second question is what fruit players think the villager pictures in their mind: apple, peach, orange, cherry and pear (occasionally, none will be an option in place of one of the fruit options). One wrong guess results in losing. If players win, they get to pick what color candy they receive.

The candy the player has won can be given to Pavé, who will exchange it for furniture in the Pavé Series. However, players must have three of the color candy he asks for.

If a player buries a pitfall seed on the day of the Festivale, it may turn into candy the following day.

In
In, the event is slightly different compared to the Festivale in. Unlike the objective in, the player must collect feathers instead of candy for Pavé. During the day, feathers can be seen falling from the sky along with confetti (the feathers can be obtained using a net).

The villagers walking around the town can be found wearing headdresses with different colored feathers on top of them. They may also be heard singing the town tune. Villagers inside and outside their homes will both offer to play games with the player to win feathers. Some villagers will offer the player a feather without asking for anything in return.

Pavé appears in the event plaza and will ask the player to find feathers of a specific color. If the player obtains the specific number of feathers requested by Pavé or obtains a rainbow feather, then Pavé performs a dance. After Pavé has finished dancing, he will give the player an item from the Pavé Series. If he is given a Rainbow Feather, he will perform a special dance and give the player Pavé's Pic instead.

Minigames

 * Trading - Villagers may ask to trade one of the player's feathers for theirs (exchange colors).


 * Charades - The villager will perform emotes depicting a concept. The player then needs to choose the correct concept from a list.


 *  Rock, Paper, Scissors - The villager starts a countdown whereupon reaching 1 the player selects either rock, paper, or scissors. The player only has to win once to obtain the feather.
