Events

Hosted by the crow Pugna, the Cawnival turns summer into a carnival of mini-games, prize tokens and the beloved Carrat races. It's a light, cosmetic-focused celebration that gives survivors something cheerful to do under the harsh summer sun.

The spookiest event on the calendar brings trick-or-treat candy, eerie decorations, and a Mad Science lab for brewing costumes and curiosities. Hallowed Nights leans fully into the game's gothic horror roots for the season.

Winter's Feast is the cosy centrepiece of the year: a festive tree, a long table of special holiday foods, dedicated feast cooking recipes, and a warm gathering for the whole server. It pairs naturally with Klaus and his winter loot stash.

Each Lunar New Year celebrates that year's zodiac animal with red lanterns, lucky gold, themed critters and festive cooking. It's a recurring, rotating event that refreshes its decorations and rewards every year.

Beyond the named festivals, Don't Starve Together runs a rotating calendar of limited-time events tied to real-world seasons and anniversaries. They come and go, so catching their exclusive cosmetics and recipes means showing up while they're live.

The Forge was a standalone combat event: no hunger, no sanity, just a team picking class gear and battling through waves to a boss in Pugna's arena. A pure co-op brawl that fans still remember fondly long after its retirement.

The Gorge swapped swords for spoons. Teams gathered ingredients, cooked dishes to order, and traded with merchants to satisfy a hungry goat-god against the clock — a cooperative cooking puzzle unlike anything else in the game.
