You’ve made it through the growing year in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. With the crops asleep and the animals safe and cosy in the barn come the quiet months of Winter. Now comes the season where you can spend time catching up on everything you haven’t had time for all year. Be it mining, fishing and of course spending time on a little thing called love.
There are a total of 25 different festivals in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. There’s a lot to go through so we’ve split them into four seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
This is everything happening in Mineral Town in Winter.
Winter 2 – Mayor Thomas’ Winter Request
Your Farm, Morning and 7.00PM
Requirements: The requested item
Benefits: +1 Gold Lumber
This event isn’t technically a festival, but it does occur annually on this date. On Winter 2 Mayor Thomas will be waiting outside your front door in the morning with a request.
Turns out he needs a certain item to prove how great Mineral Town is to all the other Mayors in the potentially next Mayor gathering. He’ll request for you to get him either AEPFE Apple, Bell Pepper, Black Grass, Bracelet, Diamond, Golden Egg, Matsutake Mushroom, Mochi, Moonstone, or White Grass. The event item is randomly selected.
Pro Tip: If Thomas requests an item you’ve no way of obtaining, reload your saved game to reset the request.
Give him the item when he returns to your farm at 7 PM that same night. If you refuse to help you’ll lose 10 Friendship Points with Thomas. And if you miss him on the farm later that night you’ll lose FP with him as well.
As a reward he’ll give you a single piece of Gold Lumber.
Winter 14 – Valentine’s Day [Unmarried]
Your Farm, All Day

Just like White Day in the Spring where the men show affection with cookies, the reverse happens on Valentine’s Day in Winter.
During this day the female marriage candidates in town that you have a special relationship with will stopping by to shower you with affection and Chocolate or Orangettes. Talk to each suitor with some empty space in your bag to receive the gift.
A purple heart will get you chocolates and a yellow heart will get you Orangettes. If you haven’t received a ring from White Day and your candidate has more than a yellow heart you’ll get one of the 7 Rings.
