All of the words that end in 's' (except for class) are plural, not collective.
I don't think either gallery or festival are collective nouns. They are simply singular nouns.
Collective nouns are used to refer to a group of people, animals, or things. Here are some collective nouns for the specific categories you mentioned:
1. Festival: A collective noun for a group of festivals does not exist. However, if you are referring to a group of individuals attending a particular festival, you can use "crowd" or "gathering."
2. Family: This is already a collective noun. It refers to a group of people who are related by blood or marriage.
3. Flock: This refers to a group of birds, especially sheep or geese, but can also be used figuratively for a group of people.
4. Crowd: This refers to a large group of people gathered closely together.
5. Parties: In this context, "parties" would not be considered a collective noun. Instead, you could use "group" or "gathering."
6. Army: This refers to a large organized group of soldiers.
7. Village: Although "village" typically refers to a small settlement or community, it can also be used to represent a collective noun for a group of villages.
8. Company: This refers to a group of people who work together in a business organization.
9. Gallery: Generally, "gallery" is not a collective noun. However, if you are referring to a group of art galleries, you can use "collection" or "network" to describe it.
