...Eric's notable festivities (12)

I believe the answer is:

celebrations

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

'festivities' is the definition.
(I know this)

'eric's notable' is the wordplay.
'eric's notable' anagrams to 'CELEBRATIONS'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for celebrations that I've seen is " Festivities".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
