Gala — celebration (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fiesta

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'gala' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'celebration' is the second definition.
(fiesta is a kind of celebration)

(Other definitions for fiesta that I've seen before include "Religious festival in Hispanic communities" , "Outdoor celebration" , "Religious event" , "Festival, fete" , "A Spanish public celebration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
