It is the preterite indicative third-person singular form of the verb festejar, which means to celebrate, to party, or to hold a festival. The word is commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries to describe a past event that involved joy, festivity, or commemoration. For instance, one might say "El pueblo festejó la victoria" which means "The town celebrated the victory." It can refer to a wide range of occasions, from personal milestones like birthdays and anniversaries to public holidays and national celebrations.
