Is it read as Shuukaku sai or Shuukaku matsuri? What is the difference between the two?

Pretty much EVERY kanji has different pronunciations, so a thread about all of them would not be quite feasible. Most of it is just memorization and context. Some combos don't use the readings from either kanji and they just make up their own, example : Kyou きょう 今日 That must be memorized.
Other times when the readings are used you have to figure out by context which reading to use.
