“Celebration” is the broad and general term for any merry-making activity. Any celebration can happen as planned or instantaneously. Factors like time and activity fall under the terms of being planned or not. A celebration can involve a single person, a small group, or a whole community that takes part in it.
Celebrations usually happen with a purpose or a reason. These reasons or purposes can be personal or public or as a result of good fortune, accomplishment, or development. The celebration in itself can be classified also as public or private depending on its purpose.
On the other hand, festivals are a type of celebration done to mark or to commemorate a special or significant occasion. There is an allotted and special day or time for a festival. A festival also occurs at regular intervals, usually repeated annually, as somewhat a part of a practice and a tradition.
Festivals are usually planned in detail often as a series of programs, performances, or activities revolving into a single theme. It involves a large group of people, usually a community, that celebrates its unique and identifying features.
An event or happening, or the time of an event or happening is generally called an occasion.
