Mermaid Show in Stardew Valley
The Mermaid Show is an event that you can witness during The Night Market; it only lasts from 5 pm to 12:30 am. During this event, a mermaid will show up on the boat right after the player enters it. Her entrance is followed by a cut-scene in which the mermaid will perform for some 1 hour 40 minutes. The player will have the complete autonomy to leave the performance as and when he feels like. You can even stop the time, which can be done from the game menu.
Here, after the mermaid's performance is over, you will have an opportunity to gain a unique secret pearl. You can obtain it by playing clamshells, and the chance to do that will be given right after the show is finished. If you play the clamshells in the correct musical order, then you receive the Secret Pearl.
Mermaid Show Pearl Code
To receive the pearl, you will have to play the clamshells in the order 1-5-4-2-3. This is the secret code and will help you get the pearl.
Here, you will have to take note of the fact that though you can play The Mermaid performance any number of times, you will be able to obtain the secret pearl only once, each for every saved game.

About the Night Market Festival in Stardew Valley.
What sets Night Market apart from the other festivals in Stardew Valley is that the shops that are usually closed during the other festivals can be found open during the Night Market. Also, if you interact with the fellow villagers who are also present in the Night Market, then both of you will gain more friendship points.
One other thing that you will notice in Night Market is that there will be slight changes in the beach's map. This will cause the short-term disappearance of crab pots and chests. But this will not affect your usual quests.
