Etymology

The word 'fest' is a shortened form of 'festival,' which originated from the Latin word 'festivus,' meaning 'of a feast or festival' and 'festivity.'

The concept of a festival encompasses a variety of events that celebrate cultural, artistic, or social themes. Festivals have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, serving as a way to bring communities together for collective enjoyment, reflection, and celebration. Today, 'fest' is often used colloquially to refer to various types of events, blurring the lines between formal and informal gatherings.
