flower dance entrance

I started playing the game today and have played until the egg festival and flower dance. I could not enter the flower dance event, even though I entered the forest below the farm. Is there any way to fix this issue? I was really looking forward to the dance.

On a day of a Flower Dance you walk south from your farm and you get transferred to this small area surrounded by colorful flags. It’s not exactly clear what to do next. In fact in my first game play I thought the game glitched and restarted the day :). Didn’t notice the tiny bridge on the left...
