Fete

Etymology
.

Noun

 * 1)  party social event

Usage notes

 * The word is generally used either of children’s parties or otherwise of parties of a more boisterous nature (typically involving loud music and alcohol consumption). At least in this latter sense, the word is dated with the younger generation(s) using instead. Some younger people may still use  to stress the boisterousness, as in, but it would be quite uncommon to say.
