If your Character lives in Bluebell, for example, he/she will celebrate the Harmony Festivals but the only Eligible Bachelor or Eligible Girls who will recognise the Festival are those from Bluebell.
The Festivals that are specific to one Village are celebrated only by the Residents of that Village.

Where a Festival occurs only in one of the Two Towns, the Village that celebrates the Festival will be given in each instance. The following Calendar combines the Calendars of the two villages and therefore is different from the one you will find on your own Counter. You therefore will experience different Festivals when living in Bluebell from those experienced in Konohana. Birthdays obviously will be the same in both Villages but although some Festivals are shared, there are others that are Village-specific. The Calendar on the counter in your House will display all Birthdays and Festivals from the start, except for those that deal with Characters who have not arrived yet in either Village. As your Character can move from one Village to the other, you will have a chance to experience all Festivals through the years. Some Festivals are celebrated by both Villages but others are celebrated solely by the Residents of Bluebell Village or Konohana. This Calendar lists all Birthdays both for Residents of Bluebell Village and Konohana Village. Remembering a Character's Birthday with a Gift he/she likes always is a good opportunity to raise Friendship Levels. Moreover, you will find eligible Candidates for Marriage in BOTH Villages and therefore should make the effort to interact regularly with Residents of Bluebell and Konohana irrespective of your own choice of Residence. Your Character must choose a Residence in one of the two Villages but is expected to travel between them as many Shops and Businesses are not duplicated.
What makes Tale of Two Towns unique is the fact that it deals with two separate Villages and that the Characters in the game as well as the Festivals are divided between Bluebell Village and Konohana Village. Birthdays and Festivals therefore always are an integral part of any Harvest Moon game and Tale of Two Towns is no exception in this respect. Harvest Moon games are as much about participation in the activities and lives of all members of your community as they are about Farming.
