How exactly did you install festival?
The normal approach would be to install it via

$sudo apt-get install festival

in a terminal. This automatically downloads the program and copies the files to their correct destination. no further user interaction is necessary. When you now want to run the program again open a terminal and with

$festival

you can start the program. Now you get a promt like

festival>

If you want it to say something type

festival>(SayText "Hello world!")

and hit [RETURN]
