Moonlight Peaks Evernight Festival Guide

Quick answer: Evernight runs for three nights every year on Autumn 26, 27, and 28. Enter Town to begin the festival, submit up to six entries for Luna's Twilight Showcase, play Pumpkin Dash and Jitterbug for Evernight Coins, collect candy buckets, visit Sabrina's festival shop, and recover the two event-only Vampsters before the final night ends.

Evernight Coins are the event currency. The current Official Wiki festival ledger says unused Coins roll over and stack from year to year. Older playthrough coverage reported that they expired, so the current source ledger takes priority while the guide preserves that historical conflict below.

Evernight Schedule

Date	One-time event	Available throughout Evernight
Autumn 26	Opening; Luna's Twilight Showcase accepts up to six entries	Pumpkin Dash, Jitterbug, candy buckets, Evernight Shop
Autumn 27	Aras's Fashion Show at Third Eye Threads	Pumpkin Dash, Jitterbug, candy buckets, Evernight Shop
Autumn 28	Evernight Banquet and Twilight Showcase results	Claim the final result and decide what to buy now or save for next year

Pumpkin Head hosts the festival. The official Wiki also documents festival decorations by the witches and Orlock playing violin in the town square.

What to Prepare Before Autumn 26

• Keep up to six high-value crops or display items you are willing to lose.
• Clear bag space for candy, shop purchases, and the Pumpkin Beanie.
• Mark the two event-only Vampster locations if the 100-Vampster collection is incomplete.
• Decide whether the Arcane Flame is your priority; its current festival price is about 400 Evernight Coins.
• Do not carry a quest item or irreplaceable collectible into the Twilight Showcase without reading the submission prompt.

Best Ways to Earn Evernight Coins

Pumpkin Dash

Pumpkin Dash is the red-light, green-light race in Peaksview Park. Move while Pumpkin Head faces away and stop before he turns around. If he catches you moving, you return to the start.

Finish	Current official Wiki reward
1st	10 Evernight Coins + Pumpkin Beanie
2nd	5 Evernight Coins + Pumpkin Beanie
3rd	3 Evernight Coins + Pumpkin Beanie

GameRant's tested table instead lists 1 Coin for third place and calls the Beanie a participation reward. The first- and second-place Coin amounts agree. Check the results screen in the current patch for the disputed third-place and Beanie details.

GameRant also reports that Pumpkin Dash can be replayed without a limit and that festival time does not advance during the race. In that tested build, repeated first-place finishes are the most dependable way to farm enough currency for the shop.

Jitterbug

Elvira hosts Jitterbug at Heart Pier, between Elvira and Samael's homes. Swap Critters to create horizontal or vertical groups of three or more before the timer expires.

The official Wiki confirms that higher scores award more Coins. GameRant's test converts 10 score into 1 Evernight Coin, making a score of 60 worth 6 Coins. Jitterbug is useful for variety, but Pumpkin Dash is easier to plan around if you need hundreds of Coins.

Candy buckets

Search Town, shop fronts, and homes for festival candy buckets. They contain random candy and can also award Evernight Coins. Collect them while moving between the shop and minigames rather than relying on them as the main currency source.

Twilight Showcase

First place in Luna's Twilight Showcase awards 100 Evernight Coins. This is a one-time final-night result, so do not wait for it if you need to buy something before the judging scene.

How to Win Luna's Twilight Showcase

The Showcase table is on the pier north of Death's Shack. Submit up to six entries during Evernight; Luna judges them on Autumn 28 after the banquet.

The current official Wiki describes the entries as crops. GameRant reports successfully testing a wider pool of high-value items and found total item value to be the deciding factor, recommending two-star food or crops, Diamonds, and Golden Eggs. Because those descriptions differ, use this safe rule:

1. interact with the table and use only items the current prompt accepts;
2. favor high-quality, high-sale-value entries;
3. fill all six slots if the materials are replaceable;
4. submit nothing you need for a quest, Museum donation, or rare recipe.

Submitted items cannot be reclaimed after judging in GameRant's test. The 100-Coin first-place reward may not justify sacrificing six unique collectibles.

Evernight Fashion Show

Enter Third Eye Threads on Autumn 27 for Aras's Fashion Show. Choose makeup, clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories for three models.

GameRant reports that every tested styling choice received applause and that the activity has no direct item or Coin reward. Treat it as the second night's story activity rather than a scoring puzzle.

Evernight Shop Priorities

Sabrina runs the Evernight Shop at the Midnight Market. The shop includes exclusive furniture, food, recipes, blueprints, and an Arcane Flame.

Priority	Current listed price	Why buy it
Pumpkin Stew recipe	1 Coin	Permanent recipe at minimal cost
Pumpkin Pie recipe	1 Coin	Permanent recipe at minimal cost
Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe	1 Coin	Permanent recipe and a loved Pumpkin Head gift
Yoga Mat blueprint	4 Coins	Cheap permanent blueprint
Wacky Jack-O'-Lantern blueprint	9 Coins	Festival blueprint
Round Festive Table blueprint	9 Coins	Festival blueprint
Scarecrow	59 Coins	Highest-priced listed furniture item below the Arcane Flame
Arcane Flame	400 Coins on the official Wiki	Permanently contributes to maximum Mana

GameRant captured the Arcane Flame at 399 Coins, one less than the current official Wiki. Budget 400 and follow the live shop price. Buy permanent recipes and blueprints before decorative duplicates; if you cannot reach an expensive target, the current official festival ledger says the remainder carries into next year.

Ready-made seasonal food currently costs 12 Coins for Pumpkin Stew, 16 for Pumpkin Pie, and 21 for Pumpkin Spice Latte. Buying the 1-Coin recipes is usually the better long-term unlock if you have the cooking ingredients.

Two Event-Only Vampsters

GameRant documents two Vampsters that appear only during Evernight:

1. under the tree west of Coffee & Coffins, behind the pumpkin decoration;
2. in the southeast corner of the patio outside The Broken Lamp.

Carry each one to the den inside the Cave of Echoes. Talking to residents or putting a Vampster down returns it to its hiding spot. Missing either festival spawn can add a full in-game year to the 100-Vampster collection.

Use the 100-Vampster route and carry rules before starting the delivery.

Autumn 28

1. Leave inventory room before the banquet and Showcase result.
2. Collect the 100-Coin first-place reward if your display wins.

4. Confirm both festival Vampsters reached the Cave of Echoes.

Evidence Notes

• The dates, three-night schedule, official activity descriptions, shop categories, and current official prices come from the current Moonlight Peaks Wiki.
• The replayable Pumpkin Dash, score conversion, non-returned Showcase items, tested value strategy, Fashion Show outcome, and event-only Vampsters are GameRant playthrough findings.
• The current Official Wiki festival ledger says Coins carry over between years; older GameRant and video coverage reported expiry. This guide follows the newer source while keeping the conflict visible.
• Cozy Cyber's full-year video independently shows the three-night structure, candy buckets, temporary currency, Sabrina's shop, and all four event activities.
• Where the official Wiki and GameRant disagree, this guide presents the conflict instead of choosing an unsupported exact number.
