Feb. An East get-together, a celebratory party (9)

I believe the answer is:

beanfeast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a celebratory party' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'feb an east get-together' is the wordplay.
'feb an east' can be anagrammed to 'BEANFEAST'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beanfeast that I've seen before include "free meal" , "Celebratory party" , "Party with lots of food and drink" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
