Festivale

Today is the day of Festivale, and confetti rains from the sky and villagers wear funny hats.

Big Top: When I woke up this morning, the sky was pouring confetti!Among the confetti, you’ll also find feathers floating around. You’ll want to catch them with your net.

I got a white feather! It's so soft and pure!But the star attraction of Festivale is Pave’ the fabulous peacock. He’s a dancing machine.

Pave: How can you stand next to the glory that is Pave and not be gyrating?!The object of Festivale is to collect the colored feathers and take them to Pave’. If you give him three feathers of the color he asks for, he will give you a piece of Pave’ furniture.

Pave: If you bring Pave woohoo feathers, you-hoo get woohoo too-hoo!Besides catching feathers with your net, you can also win them by playing mini-games with your villagers.

Rolf: Ha! Even an old, creaky man like me can shuffle his feet and pop a hip every now and then!As I was searching for feathers, I saw Phineas! He gave me the Refurbishing Expert badge for customizing lots of items at Re-Tail.

I got the Refurbishing Expert badge! I've entered the ranks of the top-class customizers!When I had three feathers for Pave’, I exchanged them for a Pave’ sofa.

Pave: You did good for Pave. Pave thanks you and gives you this Pave sofa!I also found a rainbow feather! It can be exchanged for a piece of Pave’ furniture at any time!

Yippeeeee! I got a rainbow feather! These are extremely rare!I updated my dream town and Luna told me that Bling from Bling was my most recent dream visitor.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Bling from Bling enjoyed your dream.Some of the animals looked really ridiculous in their Festivale costumes.

Teddy: All right! Things are gradually starting to heat up! Let's daaaance!Tom invited me over to his town, where it was nighttime. Pave’ was all lit up.

Spotlights on Pave.Tom was wearing the Festivale clothing, and he looked like Dame Edna.

I got the Neighborhood Traveler badge! I love to travel!Villagers will sometimes offer to trade feathers with you. So they may offer you a yellow feather in exchange for a green one, for example. Other times, they’ll ask to play a game with you. If you win, you’ll get a feather from them. But if you lose, they get to take one of your feathers.

Teddy: OK, let's do this! We're going to play...charades!I needed three pieces to complete my set, and fortunately Kim was around to exchange our duplicate pieces so we’d both have the full set. Thanks, Kim! Here’s a look at the full set.

If you’re wondering how Festivale compares to the City Folk version, I’m going to tell you. 😛 I did not like the City Folk version. It used candy instead of feathers, but the object is essentially the same. The biggest difference is the ability to catch feathers randomly flying around town. This is an improvement and it adds to the fun, for sure.

However, the items Pave’ gives are still random, and you will receive many duplicates before completing the set. And you’ll likely end up stockpiling tons of feathers of certain colors, only to have Pave’ repeatedly ask for colors you don’t have. The whole thing is still tedious and extremely time-consuming.

If you’re trying to complete the furniture set, it can easily take hours…or all day, depending on how lucky you get with the items Pave’ gives you. This holiday is still a frustrating, colossal pain in the neck. It remains my least favorite holiday.

    1. You don’t actually get to dance for Festivale. Well, you could always do the Shrunk Funk Shuffle if you have it, but it’s not something that Pave will respond to.
