Golden Star Festival

The Golden Star Festival (金星祭, Kinhoshi Matsuri, Literally meaning: Gold Star Festival) is a holiday celebrated when Edagakure's sacred star tree produces fruit. After the fruit is harvested, they are randomly distrusted to villagers. Eating the fruit is said to bring an entire year of good luck and has been stated to be extremely sweet. Following the fruit's distribution, a full three days of celebration occurs.

The festival has no fixed day, but usually occurs in late May to early June and occurs even during wartime.

Founding
The Golden Star Festival was originally started by Eda's founder, Otakebi. Because of the major distrust between the village's four main tribes, he took fruit from the village's sacred tree and gave it to the various children of the tribes.
