Gladiators did not have festivals on their own. They were always a part of another celebration. As we all know, they were originally funeral duties/rites given for the deceased. They evolved into parts of celebrations for military victories, anniversaries of events, even for electioneering until that use was banned. They were also, at times, part of the celebrations of certain gods, in particular Mars. The atmosphere or the mood of the public during a festival in which there would be gladiators was mixed. People who enjoyed the contests were anticipating (and probably betting on) their favorite wining, while those who opposed the bouts were repulsed.

Not sure what you mean by "atmosphere ." It was crowed with 70,000 people on several levels. The games started in the morning and ran all day. In the afternoons they had a shade they could pull over the seats. There were public restrooms and drinking fountains. They could flood the floor of the arena and have sea battles. Today the wooden floor had rotted away and you now see the area that was once below the floor.

The atmosphere at the Colosseum was one of excitement. The Romans loved the gladiatorial combats and got excited about their events as they unfolded and the victors, who could become heroes.
