Swanky gala (4)

I believe the answer is:

fete

(Other definitions for fete that I've seen before include "Garden event" , "Holiday festival" , "Outdoor entertainment and sale, often for charity" , "Sale of goods and refreshments to raise funds for charity" , "Outdoor festival" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
