Snow Festival (SI)

The Snow Festival is a festival in Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands.

On the 4th day of Winter each year, the villagers will gather at the meadow to build a snowman together. You can attend by going to Meadow Island between 10am and 5:50pm.

Before speaking to Gannon to build the snowman, each villager in attendance can be spoken to and asked if they would like to help in the building of the snowman. In order for a villager to help out they need to have 5 hearts of friendship or more. If they have less than 5 hearts, they will decline to help and decide to watch instead. When you are ready to build the snowman, speak to Gannon.

The size of the snowman will depend on how many villagers you can convince to help you. Less than 6 people will result in a small snowman, less than 11 people will result in a medium snowman and having 11 or more people help out will result in the largest snowman.

The same villagers attend every year so it is easy to focus on those specific friendships if you want to build the largest snowman. When the Mineral Town villagers are unlocked, Popuri and Karen will also attend. If you are married, your spouse will also attend, giving you an extra person who can help.

This is a festival strictly for fun and does not yield any prizes, even when the largest snowman is built.
