Desert Festival

The Desert Festival was added in 1.6. It runs in the Calico Desert on Spring 15, 16, and 17, from 10am to 2am, after the bus is repaired. On the first two days you do not have to wait for Pam's usual arrival at the bus stop. The clock keeps running. Villagers are at the festival rather than at their counters. Sandy's shop is closed, the Oasis building can still be entered, and the Desert Trader still trades.

Calico Eggs are the currency. They carry across the three days, sell for 0g if shipped, and disappear from bags and chests when the festival ends. Races pay 20 eggs for a win. The first winning bet of each day on Escar-go, the slow racer, pays 100 instead. One egg to the suspicious man by the Oasis can make a chosen racer lose. Two random villagers open shops from noon to midnight.
