How to Prepare

To participate in the Pumpkin Jamboree, you will need to have some desserts on hand to give to the children who visit. It’s a good idea to cook these the day before the festival.

Event Details

The Pumpkin Jamboree is split into two parts: a morning event with visiting children, and an evening event if you are married.

Morning Visitors

Three of the town’s younger residents—Mei, Yu, and Popuri—will visit your farm at specific times in the morning.

When you see them, simply give them a dessert from your backpack to complete their visit.

Morning Visitor Schedule
Mei 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM
Yu 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Popuri 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Note: If you are married to Popuri, she will not visit you during the morning. Instead, she will be part of the evening celebration inside your home.

Evening Celebration (After Marriage)

If you are married, entering your farmhouse anytime after 6:00 PM will trigger a special cutscene where you and your family celebrate the Pumpkin Jamboree together.
