A DESCRIPTIVE COMPOSITION ABOUT A FESTIVAL

A descriptive composition about a festival, an event or a celebration should consist of:

a) an introduction in which you give the name, time, place and reason(s) for celebrating;
b) a main body in which you describe the preparations and the actual event in separate paragraphs, using present tenses to describe annual festivals, or past tenses to describe a festival you attended at some time in the past;
c) a conclusion which includes people's feelings, comments or final thoughts about the event.

You can use a variety of adjectives and adverbs to make your description more vivid.
e.g.
Cheerlul fans shouted enthusiastically as the rock star arrived.

You can use the passive to describe events when the activity is more important than the agent (i.e. the person who did it)
e.g.
After the parade, speeches are made and hymns are sung.

Descriptions of festivals, events or celebrations can be found in magazines, news-papers or travel brochures, or as parts of letters, stories, etc. The style you use depends on the situation and the intended reader.
