merrymakers
Festive celebration attendees
Merrymakers are people engaged in festive celebration or revelry.
The word suggests a group enjoying themselves together—laughing, drinking, dancing: The merrymakers spilled out of the pub at closing time.
It has an old-fashioned, slightly literary feel, evoking holiday gatherings or carnival scenes rather than everyday socializing.
