An informal American word for any event, gathering, or situation packed with good times, entertainment, and general merriment. Funfest can describe everything from a neighborhood block party to a chaotic day at work — and it works equally well used sincerely or with heavy sarcasm. When used ironically, it typically means the exact opposite: a tedious or frustrating experience that was anything but fun.

The office holiday party was a real funfest — karaoke, photo booth, the works.
Origin: American compound of 'fun' and 'fest' (from German Fest, meaning festival), following a pattern common in US English for creating casual event names. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
