The Stardew Valley Fair is an event that takes place on Fall 16 between 9 AM and 2 PM in the town square.
The player is able to engage in conversation with villagers, play games at booths and create a Grange Display to earn #Star Tokens, and redeem unique prizes with said tokens. The player may talk to Lewis to begin the grange display judging at any time. After judging, unlike most events, the player may continue playing at the fair.
Grange Display[]
After speaking with Lewis, 9 items can be placed in the empty display box just outside of Pierre's General Store to be judged by him. Points given are based on the quality and variety of the items. To maximize points, one of each item type is recommended, with a few at iridium quality if possible.
Qualifying item types are fish, vegetables, fruit, forage, animal products, artisan goods, cooking, and minerals. The 9th space in the display can be used for a high-value item, like a Treasure Chest or Golden Pumpkin. The player starts out with 14 points, and will loose points for each space left empty, even if the alternative is a worthless or repeat item.
- 1st place = at least 90 pts:
1,000 - 2nd place = at least 75 pts: 500
- 3rd place = at least 60 pts: 200
- 4th place = less than 60 pts:
50
If the player places the Mayor's Lucky Purple Shorts in their grange display, they will be "disqualified" but still receive 750 regardless of the items used in the display.
After receiving their Star Tokens, the items from the grange display can be retrieved. If they aren't removed and the event ends early, the items can still be collected later from the Mayor's Manor.
Minigame Booths[]
There are several games where you can gain Star Token, a currency that can be exchanged for prizes at the shop near the entrance by the farm. Maximum amount of tokens the player can have seems to be 9,999.
| Name | cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fishing Minigame |  50g
|
Play the fishing minigame to catch fish. Fishing works mostly as per usual, with a basic Bamboo Pole with no energy cost and no treasure chance, but your fishing level will still give you an advantage. Each caught fish gives between 15 to 20 points, based on how fast you catch the fish and what type of fish it is, with higher difficulty fish granting more points. All trash and algae give 1 point. For successfully catching all fish and for each perfect catch (the fish never leaves the green bar), you get extra points at the end. |
| Slingshot Minigame | 50g
|
Shoot the targets with your slingshot (press the action button for the keyboard/gamepad, or pull in the reverse direction that you want to fire with your mouse cursor). Each target gives different points (red, blue, and purple). At the end you get a point multiplier based on your accuracy. |
| Smashing Stone | At the Smashing Stone you can test your strength by clicking the stone at the right moment when the bar hits the top. for hitting the top you get one Star Token. The bar is stopped when your pickaxe strikes the pad, not when you start swinging. You can also get a star token by hitting the stone when the bar is at the bottom. | |
| Token Seller | 50g
|
At the Star Token Seller you can buy Star Tokens for 50g each. |
| Clairvoyant Booth | 100g
|
At the Clairvoyance Booth the Fortuneteller will tell you events from the future for 100g once. This information is based on the social status you have with the villagers and your highest ranked skill. She will tell you something about events with the first two people in your social menu. |
| Spinning Wheel | Star Tokens 
|
At the Spinning Wheel you can bet any number of your tokens on orange or green. (It appears that the chance for green is far larger than that for orange. This part of game may be broken. ) |

Each item can only be purchased once per event, except for the Stardrop, which only can be purchased at the fair once per game file.

Grill[]
Gus is grilling up a storm near the Community Center with his signature secret sauce. You can consume an unlimited number of Survival Burgers by interacting with the grill, all food compliments of the mayor. The energy and health bonuses still apply, as does the foraging bonus, although it is still counting down in real time even though it is not visible during the event. You can take advantage of this by stopping by for one last bite before you leave.
