It sounds like destiny to have a gala (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fete

'a gala' is the definition.
(both can mean a festive event)

'it sounds like destiny' is the wordplay.
'it sounds like' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'destiny' becomes 'fate' (synonyms).
'fate' is a homophone of 'FETE'.

'to have' is the link.

(Other definitions for fete that I've seen before include "Village festival" , "Lavishly entertain; charity function" , "Outdoor gala" , "(Honour with) festivities" , "Outdoor fundraiser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
