<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">fiesta</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(both can mean a celebration)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for carnival that I've seen before include "travelling fair" , "Public merrymaking, usually with procession" , "Fiesta" , "Time of public revelry" , "Notting Hill event" .)
