The dance takes place in the far west of the forest, across the bridge that is south of the [[Wizard's Tower]]. This area is accessible only during the Flower Dance.
On the day of the Festival, every home and shop in Stardew Valley is "locked" and cannot be entered.
During this festival, you can dance with one of the [[Marriage#Marriage Candidates|bachelors or bachelorettes]]. You must talk to them (twice) and invite them to dance, but they will refuse unless you have four hearts of [[friendship]] with them. You can talk to the other villagers and they will have event-related dialogue.
