What is the Night Market in Stardew Valley?

The Night Market festival occurs for three consecutive nights. You can go to the beach at 5 pm during these days and interact with a host of unique attractions and shops. There are four different shops where you can splurge your money.

However, when you take part in the Night Market, you should be aware of the passing hours so as not to lose consciousness due to fatigue. There are two ways to leave the Night Market. You can go to the farm manually or pay 250g to the hooded figure outside Willy's Shop. This individual will then transport you back to your farm instantly.

The Mermaid Boat is blue and situated at the terminus of a lengthy trail diverging from the right side's dock. Notably, accessing this boat does not require any fee. Once you step inside the Mermaid Boat, you will be enchanted by the melodious singing of a mermaid. This event consumes an hour and forty minutes on Stardew Valley's in-game clock.

Following the performance, you should press the clams according to their positions in the lineup in this order (from left to right): 1-5-4-2-3. Completing this task will lead the mermaid to gift you a Pearl, an item that holds both sentimental and monetary value as it can either be sold or given as a Loved Gift to any Villager.

Although only one Pearl can be obtained per saved file, you are free to watch the mermaid's performance as many times as you wish.
