Festivals
Festivals are opportunities to increase your friendships with the villagers. Some festivals can also be used to increase the LP of the bachelorettes. In times, you can earn money and wood, and generally have a good time. Downside though, is that shops are closed, thankfully, the doctor still accepts your checkups and it's for free.

Dr. Edwards can use the empty bottles to store recovery potions, or you can create the potion yourself via the pharmacy in your upgraded house.
