merrymaker
One who celebrates
A merrymaker is someone engaged in lively celebration or festivity.
The word suggests active participation in fun—drinking, dancing, laughing—rather than passive attendance: Merrymakers spilled out of the pub at closing time.
It carries a slightly old-fashioned or literary quality.
