A festival is an event, usually attended by the unwashed masses and hippies.

Mainly a festival serves as excuse for crappy rock bands like Athlete and that utter prick Pete Doherty to make a lot of money for doing fuck all.

It is compulsory not to wash for one week before attending a festival. And hippies must always have a grimy joint pressed between their filthy, yellowed fingers.
Hippy: I'm going to a festival this weekend.
Me: I trust you have not washed recently then.

To have a festival, celebrate, and/or party with great zeal and to an almost superfluous extent.

The word combines both festival and celebrate in order to describe a formerly unknown level of revelry. Instead of the normal levels of celebration, partying and festivities, this transcends popular convention to ascertain a deity-like level of merriment.

An occasion in which this occurs is known as a festivation.
1. Dude, my bro Josh is coming back from being in Afghanistan for, like, a year. We're throwing a huge festivation for him.

2. Yo, it's been a shitty week. I'm gonna hit the clubs and festivate so hard in there, I'll get kicked off the strip for life!
