Summer is the busiest in-game season in Starsand Island. Ten NPCs celebrate birthdays, including three on the same day (Summer 13), and the Beach Festival caps the season with the largest event on the island. Summer is also the game's starting season: on a brand-new save your character arrives on Summer 1, Year 1. This page tracks the season's priorities day by day. For systemic detail, see Seasons and Calendar, Beach Festival, and NPC Birthdays.
