Stardew Valley SquidFest location
The Stardew Valley SquidFest takes place on the western side of the beach which means you may need to head across the town to participate. SquidFest begins on Winter 12 and 13 and runs for the entire day.
The event is particularly useful for catching Squid and earning those all-important Mastery Points.
