⚠️ The trap
'Festival' is the same in Italian and English as a noun. The trap is the Italian adjective 'festivo' which means 'festive' or 'holiday' (giorno festivo = public holiday), not 'festival'.
To say "relating to a celebration or holiday period" in Italian:
festivo (for the adjective festive)
"festival" in English means:
festival (cultural, music, film)
Example
"Il Festival del Cinema di Venezia è famoso in tutto il mondo."
"The Venice Film Festival is famous worldwide."
