A ficticious holiday created by writers of the TV show Seinfeld. It was created by George's father, Frank Costanza. The holiday is suppose to be an alternative to Christmas, Hanukka and other more widely celebrated holidays. With this in mind the catch phrase "A Festivous for the rest of us!" was created. Festivous is celebrated symbolically with a plain steel pole called the Festivous Pole and games such as the Feats of Strength are played. Traditionally the Festivous celebration is not over until George pins his father in a Feats of Strength wrestling match.

To get festive, to get in the Holiday Spirit.
"I'm tired of all of you pooh-poohing the office Holiday Party. They'll have free booze and food! C'mon, it's time to festivate!"

A festivant is person who attends, or imagines, he/she is attending, a festival.
How many festivants went to the Detroit Jazz Festival? My cousin never gets out, she was a festivant by the webcast.

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.

Verb: Festivaling
To Festival: To go stage to stage, listening to music you don't know whilst doing drugs.

It is estimated that 90% of attendees at outdoor summer festivals are festivaling and in fact have no idea what music they are there to listen to.
