Festival is a Copy Ability in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Star Allies.

Games
Kirby Star Allies
Festival focuses on dancing around and transforming all onscreen enemies into Point Stars; this also does damage to mid-bosses and bosses. Festival is more powerful if used when Kirby has Friends around. Unlike most Copy Abilities, this can only be used once, and does not have a Helper. Festival is obtained from the Donpuffle enemy and the Yggy Woods boss's golden cherry.

Trivia
- The song that plays when the Festival ability is used is a remix of the Kirby Dance.
- The logo that appears behind Kirby at the end of the dance is the 25th anniversary logo.
- Festival is the first limited-use Copy Ability to be introduced since Magic in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, a 14 year gap.
- The hat Festival Kirby wears may be inspired by the dancers in the Rio Carnival, a celebration in Brazil.
- This ability was possibly inspired by the scrapped Tonosama ability from Kirby Super Star. Both are based off of dancing/festivals and use flashy objects (Festival using feathers and Tonosama using fans) while using the ability.
