Usage notes
The word is generally used either of children’s parties or otherwise of parties of a more boisterous nature (typically involving loud music and alcohol consumption). At least in this latter sense, the word is dated with the younger generation(s) using de Party instead. Some younger people may still use de Fete to stress the boisterousness, as in de das war ’ne ordentliche Fete it was a hell of a party, but it would be quite uncommon to say de ich geb ’ne Fete I’m having a party.
