The Pet Show in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is the first festival of Summer and Winter. It’s where competitors enter their pets to show off how well they’re training.

During the event, pets perform tricks to impress the judges. Each pet’s performance depends on the pet’s training level and affection level. Placing well in the event rewards you with prizes and boosts your pet’s training & affection values.

Note: Given that the first Pet Show only gives you two days to train your first pet, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to win first place in Summer of Year 1.

How to Enter

On the day of the contest, you can begin the show by speaking to Woofio in the Town Plaza between 12:00PM and 4:00PM. You can then choose the pet you’d like to enter.

Pet Show Event Details

Participants in the Pet Show will need to complete several tricks by entering a sequence of button presses, similar to the training minigame.

Pets that have higher training levels will be asked to perform more complex tricks, which will in turn earn higher points. After completing ten tricks, Woofio will tally the points and declare the winner.

Successfully performed tricks earn your pet anywhere from 10 to 25 points each, depending on the complexity. It is possible to pause during the event, should you need a bit more time to review each sequence.
