festivals
- 1Plural of festival.
The region's harvest festivals draw thousands of visitors each fall.
Several film festivals premiere their lineups months in advance.
Note
A regular plural that counts only the occasions: feast days, recurring community celebrations, rites held in a god's honor. In Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, festival is also a fried cornbread, but that is a mass noun and does not take this form, so a plate of it is festival, never festivals. Before another noun the singular stays put, as the old adjective did: festival season, festival grounds.
