merry-makers
Festive celebration participants
Merry-makers are people engaged in lively celebration or festive revelry.
The word evokes groups enjoying themselves at parties, festivals, or holiday gatherings: The merry-makers spilled out of the pub at closing time.
It has an old-fashioned, slightly literary quality.
