Disney Dreamlight Valley has announced an End of Summer event that introduces new ingredients, recipes, and more.

Since the Dapper Delights update released on August 21, players have been curious about some of the new recipes it added. No one could figure out how to make Roasted Marshmallows and S’mores thanks to a distinct lack of marshmallows in the Valley.

Fortunately, those questions have been answered with the End of Summer event, which celebrates this time of year with new features, recipes, and (of course) marshmallows.

End of Summer Event start date

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s End of Summer event begins on September 4 and runs until September 26.

That means players have three weeks to participate in the event and collect marshmallows.

Where to find Marshmallows

There are two types of marshmallows coming to the Valley: pink marshmallows and blue marshmallows.

Marshmallows will be available to harvest from bushes. Here’s where to find each kind:

  • Pink marshmallows – Plaza
  • Blue marshmallows – Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust

Once cooked, marshmallow dishes can be used for new crafting recipes that have been added with the event.

There are also two new duties that involve eating and gifting marshmallow dishes; completing them unlocks new cosmetics for your Avatar.

As with the eggs from the annual Easter event and the Festive Fish available around the winter holidays, it’s likely marshmallows will be a timed exclusive, so you’ll want to collect plenty so you can keep cooking and crafting with them after the End of Summer event ends.
