It's loud and upbeat I feel like these give the feeling of a celebration

Gave this high marks in all categories, a very tight composition I think driven a little by the method of which DAW etc. Amazing chiptune type thing, fits right into a game with no problems. Have no problem seeing it in like an 8-bit console thing.
Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.
Also YT subbed and gave the video a like.
Cheers!

This is quite an ominous take on the theme! The deep and heavy bass with Bowser Castle-esque male choir makes me think this festival may involve some sort of summoning or sacrificing. I like the theremin-like melody line you wrote! Thanks for sharing!
We summoning Narinder with this very scary cult of the lamb sounding festival ritual!
The driving rhythm and playful harmonies would probably make this feel quite celebratory to me if this were in a major key. In the minor key I'd need some story or context to convince my ears to hear it that way.
I like ObfuscatedOwl's idea of it being for a ghost festival. It's definitely not giving a straightforward normal joyous vibe, but some sort of alt-joy for the people who don't fit in at the happy cozy festivals with all the normal citizens. Like, while the living celebrate with gentle happy music and sunshine and smiles, the underground scene for ghosts, phantoms, and skeletons is all dancing raucously in the dark, having an even better time, in defiance of the living. When I listen to it with that story in mind, it works really well for me.
i like that theremin/organ sound you used. cool track.
What are they celebrating? The end of the universe? It feels like a boss fight for a dangerous entity because of the choir.
I liked the song but it doesn’t really feel celebratory to me.
I really like the vibe of this! It's pretty unique, the note slides and that synth make it feel like it's kind of a "ghost festival" to me, like a bunch of ghosts celebrating which is pretty cool^^
I also quite like the percussion and the instruments all fit well together :)
