revelers
Those celebrating loudly
Revelers are people engaged in lively celebration—drinking, dancing, making noise.
The word usually describes groups: New Year's Eve revelers filled the streets, revelers spilled out of the bar at closing time.
It carries a sense of boisterous, uninhibited festivity, sometimes with implications of excess.
