Stardew Valley Community Center Complete Guide

Restoring the Stardew Valley Community Center to its former glory is a mammoth task. Each room is completely dilapidated, and you must collect a variety of items and goods from around Pelican Town to donate to the Junimos before they fix them up. The Community Center has seven rooms, each with up to six bundles inside. Here is everything you need to complete them!

How to Unlock the Community Center in Stardew Valley

The Community Center can be unlocked after the fifth day of Spring. From then onwards, whenever you go to town between 8 AM – 1 PM, Lewis will pull you aside and show you the abandoned center. After noticing the strange Junimo creatures scuttling about the building, Lewis chalks them up to rats, and the cutscene ends.

After speaking to Lewis, the building remains open for you to explore whenever you wish. When you do, try to read the strange plaque in the bottom right room. The next day, you will get a message from the Wizard inviting you to his Tower, where he will give you a strange potion that blesses you with the ability to decipher the Junimo text and begin your Community Center mission.

What Do You Get for Completing the Community Center in Stardew Valley?

The Community Center is a huge job, but it pays off by unlocking a whole new island in Stardew Valley. Completing the Community Center begins a quest involving Willy, where you strive to rebuild his old boat. Once you’ve fixed Willy’s boat with 5x Battery Packs, 200x Hardwood, and 5x Iridium Bars, you can purchase a ticket to Ginger Island for 1000g.

Ginger Island has hundreds of hours worth of content waiting for you, including several new NPCs, quests, secrets, and hidden items to discover.

Craft Room Bundles

The Crafts Room is the first room you will have access to in the Community Center. It is one of the easiest rooms to complete but also one of the most time-consuming, as it requires an entire year to pass before you can access each item.

Thankfully, the items required are all foragables that litter Pelican Town in their respective seasons, so you won’t have to look very hard to find them all.
