SquidFest is a fresh addition to Stardew Valley, featured in the latest Update 1.6, among the regular seasonal festivals. This event centers around capturing Squid, known as some of the trickiest fish to catch in the game.

SquidFest provides a welcome break from the usual farm chores, offering a chance to hook squids and win exciting prizes. If you're keen on joining this mini-festival and securing rewards, keep reading.

How to Engage in SquidFest in Stardew Valley

Occurring annually on the 12th and 13th of Winter, SquidFest kicks off at 6:10 am, lasting the entire day for players to hunt Squid and earn rewards.

To partake in this event, head to the fisherman stationed at the SquidFest stand on the northwest Beach corner. The primary activity involves fishing in the Ocean to snag Squids. Notably, the host has placed special bait in the water for a day-long fishing extravaganza.

Each successful catch nets you 1 point. The more Squid you reel in, the higher points you accumulate for prize redemption. To claim your SquidFest prizes, simply trade your Squid Points with the fisherman.

The Array of SquidFest Rewards in Stardew Valley

SquidFest features four prize tiers: bronze, silver, gold, and iridium. The number of Squid needed for each tier alters daily, alongside the unique daily prize selection.
