The  festival is on  19 from 10:00 AM to 14:00 PM every year. The townspeople gather at Peach Plaza in the morning and wait for the zeppelin to fly over the town, dropping presents. The player character can join in on the fun, but act quickly or you'll leave without a present! If you speak to Gale at the celebration, he will say:

The Festival
For the player character's first year in Portia, City Hall will send a reminder to donate a gift for the festival before the 18th of Spring. When you are ready to donate a gift, visit with Gale. He will respond favorably if the gift you brought is a good one.

When the day of the festival arrives, go to Peach Plaza and wait for the zeppelin to arrive. Gale will give a short speech about the reason for the holiday.

When the zeppelin arrives, the festivities begin. Wait for presents to start falling from the sky, then race against the townspeople to collect as many presents as you can. The presents come from donations by the townspeople to the celebration, so each present will have a note from the gifter attached to it.

Presents are dropped at TBD different locations throughout the town. Stay close beneath the zeppelin and watch the people around you to get a good idea of where the presents are going to land. You will have to move quickly to pick presents up before someone else does. If you are unable to pick up a present during the event, Gale will send a gift (which may be a Power Stone, Pumpkin Pie, or Shell) the following day:
