What is the Stardew Valley Fair Calculator?
The Stardew Valley Fair is a festival held on the 16th of Fall every year. The highlight is the Grange Display competition where Mayor Lewis judges your farm’s productivity. Winning requires a strategic mix of high-value items across multiple categories.
Our Stardew Valley Fair Calculator takes the guesswork out of the festival. By inputting the sell price and quality of your items, you can simulate Lewis’s judgment and ensure you hit the 90-point threshold required for first place.
How to Calculate Stardew Valley Fair Score (Example)
- Collect 9 different items from your farm.
- Determine the category (e.g., Starfruit is a Fruit, Pumpkin is a Vegetable).
- Check the sell price for a single item (not the whole stack).
- Identify the quality (Normal, Silver, Gold, or Iridium).
- Use the calculator to sum the 14 base points + 9 count points + category bonuses + quality/price tiers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What score do I need for 1st place? You need at least 90 points to win the blue ribbon and 1,000 Star Tokens.
Do stacks of items count? No, the Grange Display only calculates points for one item per slot. Adding more than one of the same item to a single slot provides no benefit.
Is Iridium quality always better? Yes, Iridium quality provides significantly higher points (up to 10 points per item) regardless of price tiers.
Can I use items without a category? Yes, but you won’t receive the 5-point category bonus for them.
