History
The Dark Harvest Festival has happened several times. Below is a calendar for each occurrence of this event.

Farming Tips

Since events last a short time, players like to figure out how to most efficiently obtain an event's prizes. For the Dark Harvest Festival, this means gathering Candy Tokens.
Hard, Sour, and Sweet candy tokens are dropped by the Punkin King. Since the event's prestige (The Dark Harvest) can only be played once a day, getting friends together to search the Arcade for his lairs is a good way to go. Search alone until a lair is found, then invite 3 more people and step on the party button for either a TRICK or a TREAT. Many friends searching alone all at once and inviting each other this way is likely to yield lots of candy. See the Punkin King's page on this wiki for more information on the TRICK scenario.
Brittle candy tokens are dropped by defeated Grim Gourdlings, which appear when a Grim Scarab is defeated. These enemies are encountered in Graveyard levels. A Grim Scarab might appear when the player gets close to a grave. The bug has a chance to "replace" a Dust Zombie grave spawn. If players wish to "spam" or "grind" graveyards quickly to find many Brittle candy tokens, the first floor of the 9-1 Rank Mission "An Occurrence at Owlite Keep" is a good farming location.
