Festivally

/ˈfɛstɪvəli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to or characteristic of a festival; with festive spirit or celebration.

Etymology

From 'festival' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives and nouns into manner adverbs. This creates a word describing how something is done in a festival-like way.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to 'festival' feels slightly awkward because we usually say 'festively' instead, so 'festivally' is the word English speakers rarely need because we have a better option already waiting.
