Check The HUD

The simplest and easiest way to check the date and season in Stardew Valley is to look at the upper right corner of your screen. There, you'll see a clock icon to designate the current season, as well as the date and time.

Check The Calendar

Want to know more detailed information than what the HUD provides? For example, were you curious about who has a birthday this season, or what festivals are going on soon? For that, you'll need a calendar. You can pick up a calendar from the carpenter's shop or just use the bulletin board outside of Pierre's shop.

A calendar will show you the following information, in addition to the date and season:

• Villagers' birthdays
• Seasonal festivals
