Welcome to the Harvest Festival 2026!

Welcome to Windrose’s 2026 Harvest Festival!



As the leaves begin to change and the wind grows colder, the approach of the ever anticipated Harvest Festival excites the village’s inhabitants. An abundance of produce from the end of year harvest is gathered from the local gardens, while the scent of freshly cooked food wafts through the air. Around this time, a sampling of all of the best grown food is collected and offered to the Harvest God, Korjae, to pray for a good growing season the following year.

As the name suggests, the Harvest Festival celebrates the last big harvest of the year, but the meaning runs deeper than only that. The Harvest Festival is also a celebration of death, ghosts and those that have passed. During the harvest season, Sators honor their late loved ones by sharing stories of their lives, dressing up in fun costumes and making offerings; they also place lanterns to light the way for lost and wandering spirits in hopes of helping them pass on. It isn’t uncommon to see items left at the base of trees out in the forests, where Sators have come to give recognition to those no longer with them.



The event will run from rollover to October 31st and end on rollover to November 7th.

For the time being, the previous years leaf mosaic part of the event will be absent. We're still hoping one day to rework it into the site event officially!

Update
-The new item, Ice Cream Taro, will be available in the cooking game just like other rare cooking item variants!
