revelry

Loud festive carousing

Revelry is noisy, boisterous celebration—the kind involving drinking, dancing, and general merriment: The revelry continued until dawn.

The word suggests uninhibited festivity, often with a hint of excess.

Revelers are the people engaged in such celebration: Revelers spilled out of the bar onto the street.
