Alex Stardew Valley Schedule

Alex is a resident of Pelican Town and has a standard daily routine. It varies a bit based on the season and weather-wise but for the most part he lives simply. A typical day in his life goes like this:

Spring

On a sunny spring day, Alex stands beside the dog pen next to his house in the morning. At around 1PM he goes to the ice-cream stand, in the main square. He’s home by 4 PM and spends the rest of his day there.

Summer

During his favorite season of summer, Alex works out at the Spa or takes walks around town. Additionally, every day, Alex spends as many hours in the dog pen going up until noon on sunny days. Then, subsequently, he drives to the beach and hangs out there until around 5 pm. Finally, he usually comes home after this.

Fall

Alex’s routine during Fall also mirrors his pattern from Spring. Specifically, in the mornings, he spends time near the dog pen or stands in front of Lianró under the Augusto C. Sanij house. Meanwhile, in the afternoons, he is typically at his ice cream business. However, on quite cold or rainy days, he stays at home.

Winter

During winter months, you could find Alex exercising during the day at the Spa. He stays indoors during the evenings. His Spa visit is probably what makes him harder to catch in the winter.
