The Desert Festival runs Spring 15–17 in Calico Desert after the bus is repaired. Calico Eggs are the festival currency: bet on the races, earn the first Escar-go win bonus, and spend eggs at the Calico Egg Merchant and the two rotating villager shops before they disappear.
The festival also hosts Emily's outfit service, the Chef, free cactus, Harvey's medical station, Willy's fishing quests, the scholar, and the shrouded figure. All three days share the same currency, so plan purchases across the full event.
