School Festival
Culture Festival, Arts Festival
noun
Remember how 文化 means "culture?" Well add festival to it and you end up with a culture festival! These happen all the time at Japanese schools, so sometimes they're called school festivals too.
This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You've learned all of these readings already, good for you!
文化祭をする

文化祭を楽しむ

「文化祭の練習、何時にする？」「おれは一日中ひまだから、そっちの都合の良い時なら何時でもいいよ。」
"What time should we start the school festival rehearsal?" "I'm available all day long, so anytime that suits you best."
