New Ranch adds a festival, several special nights and a few world events. Most of them can be switched off in the [[NewRanch:Configuration|configuration]].

== Harvest Festival ==
The festival is held every year on '''days 5–7 of autumn''' and is announced on autumn day 2. It needs at least '''5 town NPCs living in houses'''; otherwise it is skipped and the announcement says how many are missing.
* All three days: the [[NewRanch:Market Buyer|Market Buyer]] pays 40 points more, pests spawn half as often, Blight Night and Wolf Night do not start, the [[NewRanch:Farmer|Farmer]] sells the Feast Platter and there are fireworks at night.
* '''Day 1 – Harvest Blessing:''' every crop and bush within 90 tiles of each player grows one stage.
* '''Day 2 – Contests:'''
** '''Cook-Off:''' enter one dish per year at the [[NewRanch:Cook|Cook]]. Dishes score by food tier plus points for each farm branch that went into them. Spoiled food is refused. The winner gets the [[NewRanch:Winner's Cookbook|Winner's Cookbook]].
** '''Livestock Show:''' show one animal per year at the [[NewRanch:Veterinarian|Veterinarian]]. She judges the nearest animal within 12 tiles: climate (40 points), health (25), a Wool Blanket or Shade Awning nearby (15) and time kept (up to 20). The winner wears a ribbon that gives +1 yield at troughs within 30 tiles.
* '''Day 3 – Ceremony:''' the year's [[NewRanch:Farming#Harvest records|harvest records]] are graded (the first year is never graded). Every player present gets a bronze, silver or gold year trophy; a gold year also gives a [[NewRanch:Cornucopia|Cornucopia]] to players who do not have one. The top contributor gets the [[NewRanch:Harvest Crown|Harvest Crown]], and three gold years in a row award the Harvest Imp to everyone present.
After the first festival the [[NewRanch:Old Farmwife|Old Farmwife]] can move in.
