A festival is an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on some unique aspect of that community.

Among many religions, a feast or festival is a set of celebrations in honour of God or gods. A feast and a festival are historically interchangeable. However, the term "feast" has also entered common secular parlance as a synonym for any large or elaborate meal. When used as in the meaning of a festival, most often refers to a religious festival rather than a film or art festival.

In the Christian liturgical calendar there are two principal feasts, properly known as the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas) and the Feast of the Resurrection, (Easter). In the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican liturgical calendars there are a great number of lesser feasts throughout the year commemorating saints, sacred events, doctrines, etc.

How do I get work at the Oxegen Festival as bar/traffic/camping staff?
Q. Who do I contact to get "remedial" work, such as attending bars, controlling traffic, supervising campsites, at Ireland's Oxegen Festival? In Australia, the Festivals offer 4 hour shifts in such jobs in exchange for the res tof the day off to enjoy the festival. Does anything like this exist in the UK/Rep. Ireland?

A. Hey, Yep UK festivals also offers voluntary work (the hours depends from company to company) in exchange for a free ticket to the festival and even food! For example, I've steward with Oxfam for three years now at diffrent festivals which involved 8 hour shifts for 3 days: they're not doing Oxegen but well worth checking out for other festivals like Reading/Leeds, Glasto, etc and putting your name on the waitlist. Or Green Stewards: Also if you don't mind litter picking then email the orgainisers of Oxegen asking whether they have any voluntary positions that need to be filled: They usally require litter pickers when you ask them.. and this is you best bet as Oxfam and Green Stewards don't work at Oxegen. Or you can also try… [cont.]
