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

'run for seconds of baked goods' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'run' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'seconds' could be 's' and 's' is located in the answer.
'goods' could be 'tie' (tie is a kind of goods) and 'tie' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.
