Tips for Spring
Since you'll either be new to the farm or recovering from winter, it's a good idea to plant early. Don't forget to forage, too; an extra 350G a day can add up quick. If the profits just aren't cutting it, a bit of mining may be in order, too.
New Year's Day (Spring 1)
Though you can't attend it the first year, the New Year's celebration takes place every year in the Square, as well as at the Inn.
Starting Time: 6:00PM
Location: Rose Square or Doug's Inn
Goddess Festival (Spring 8)
A dancing event, it's traditional for boys to ask their girlfriends to come with them to it on the day before the dance. Don't expect to have a date for this festival the first year.
Starting Time: 10:00AM
Location: Rose Square
Spring Thanksgiving (Spring 14)
Show your appreciation for the girls of the village, and bake them cookies today.
Starting Time: All day
Location: N/A
Local Horse Race (Spring 18)
The stakes are up, and the betting is rampant! Though you cannot participate the first year beyond gambling, you may one day be the winner of this equestrian challenge!
Starting Time: 10:00AM
Location: Rose Square
Cooking Festival (Spring 22)
This contest is a good chance to show off your cooking prowess. Of course, you need a kitchen to stand a chance.

Location: Rose Square

Tips for Summer
You should definitely cut down withered Spring crops immediately, and start planting summer crops as soon as possible. Since crops take so long to grow during this season, you'll be left to mining and fishing as your only source of profit for most of the early part of the season.
Opening Day (Summer 1)
This challenging swimming contest opens up the season every year. The trick to winning is timing, not speed.
Starting Time: 10:00AM
Location: Mineral Beach
Sumo Chicken Festival (Summer 7)

Starting Time: 10:00AM
Location: Rose Square
Tomato Festival (Summer 12)
What could be more fun than tossing food around? Join a team and make some ketchup on your opponents' faces!
Starting Time: 10:00AM

Location: Yodel Ranch

View the fireworks from Mineral Beach, as the season is brought to a close with a bang.

As with Spring and Summer, plant early and you'll reap the benefits later. Since crops grow so fast during this season, it's to your advantage to plant as many of the more valuable crops as you possibly can.
Music Festival (Fall 3)
Welcome autumn with a night of music. Held at the Church, you can participate in this festival yourself. Just be sure you're on time!
Starting Time: 6:00PM
Location: Church
Harvest Festival (Fall 9)
To celebrate the season's yield, the villagers all have a hot-pot meal in the Square. Come and participate, but don't come empty-handed!
Starting Time: 10:00AM
Location: Rose Square
Moon-Viewing Day (Fall 13)
Go to the top of Mother Hill and view the harvest moon in all its glory with the girl that likes you best.
Starting Time: 10:00PM
Location: Mother Hill Peak

Here's your chance to show off your happy sheep. If your sheep is happy enough, it could be the winner of the year!

Nothing to forage in winter
Nothing to plant in winter
Tips for Winter
Winter is a good time to stock up on lumber, as well as mine for rare ores and upgrade things that you didn't have time to upgrade during the growing season. Since you need livestock to make a steady profit during this season, the first winter will probably be fairly rough on you.
Dog Race (Winter 10)
Show the town just how much your dog loves you, and how well-trained he is! But don't expect to win just because he loves you; your pup needs to know your scent, too!
Starting Time: 10:00AM
Location: Rose Square
Winter Thanksgiving (Winter 14)
To show their appreciation for you, girls will give you chocolate today. Just one more incentive to make friends with the village girls!
Starting Time: 6:00AM
Location: Your farm
Star Night Festival (Winter 24)
If you ask a girl on the 23rd, she may invite you over to have dinner with her family on this day.
Starting Time: 8:00PM
Location: Either a girl's home or your own home; depends on whether you're married or not
New Year's Party (Winter 30)
Ring out the old and ring in the new! Go to the peak of Mother Hill at midnight, and join in to watch the first sunrise of the year.
Starting Time: 12:00AM
Location: Mother Hill Peak
* - If your birthday coincides with one of the eligible girls' normal birthday, they will have their birthday on this day instead.
** - These crops can only be purchased from the Supermarket by shipping out 101 or more of each other type of crop for their season.
*** - Moondrop Flowers cannot be purchased immediately. You need to be given some Moondrop Seeds during an event before they'll be sold at Won's.

The hothouse has several effective formations that you can work with. The simplest to employ is the classic formation used on the field:
The second lets you plant the most non-regrowing crops for the given space, while still being able to water and harvest all of them:
And the last formation is the optimal setup for regrowing crops:
Generally speaking, the hothouse is best used for growing off-season crops and getting the special seasonal crops. There's little point in growing lots of Pineapples in there unless you want to have obscene amounts of cash-money.
This trick allows you to avoid storms. Keep two saves on your memory card for this game, and save alternately between them (i.e. save first in diary 1, then save the next day in diary 2, then the next day in diary 1 again, etc.). If a storm is coming tomorrow according to the news, then load the previous day, and redo it. This can prevent the storm from hitting the farm.
Alternately, I invented a GameShark code that can control the weather, if you have a GameShark and don't want to redo a day. The code is listed below:
8007AD02 000? Tomorrow's Weather
NOTE: Due to the way the save system works, this will change the weather to whatever you set it to for two days in a row minimum, unless you set it up with a joker command.
