SquidFest runs Winter 12–13 at the Beach. Squid are catchable all day, and daily catch counts unlock copper, iron, gold, and iridium prize tiers. The counter resets each day, so the two days have separate targets.
Day one targets are 1/3/5/8 squid; day two targets are 2/5/7/10. Claim all unlocked rewards at once; unclaimed prizes drop nearby if the inventory is full. Shops stay open and animals still need feeding.
