oyster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'galway festival' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'enjoys terrifically entertaining' is the wordplay.
'entertaining' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'OYSTER' is hidden within 'enjoys terrifically'.

Can you help me to learn more?
