You’ll need to pay close attention to the date and season in Stardew Valley since these factors determine what you can grow, whose birthdays are going on, and what festivals you can participate in. If you’re not sure what season it is, you won’t know what crops you can grow in your farm, and you’ll likely end up confused and holding a lot of items that you can’t use right now.<\/p>\n

To help you out, we’ll show you how to check the date and season in Stardew Valley for yourself so you can always have this information on hand.<\/p>\n

How To Check the Date and Season<\/h2>\n

You can check the date and season in the upper right. (Picture: ConcernedApe)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are two different ways to check the date and season in Stardew Valley: through your HUD and the calendar. Depending on how much information you need, you might want to use a different method accordingly.<\/p>\n

Check The HUD<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Check The Calendar<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A calendar will show you the following information, in addition to the date and season:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Villagers’ birthdays<\/li>\n
  • Seasonal festivals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    That’s it for how to check the date and time in Stardew Valley; thankfully, the developers have made it easy to check what time it is in the game since this information is critical to your success on your farm. Of course, you can always buy a calendar – or check out the one in town -if you want to get more detailed information about what’s going on in the town at any given point in time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
