festivallyadv.

Brit. /ˈfɛstᵻvli/, /ˈfɛstᵻvl̩i/, U.S. /ˈfɛstəv(ə)li/
Forms: see festival adj. and -ly suffix2; also Middle English festiualy, Middle English festivaly.

Etymology: Originally (i) < classical Latin festīvē festively, with feasting, in post-classical Latin also ceremoniously (from 10th cent. in British sources; from 11th cent. in continental sources; < festīvus festive adj. + , suffix forming adverbs) + -ally suffix. In later use independently (ii) < festival adj. + -ly suffix2. Compare earlier feastly adv.
