I'm not familiar with mint but on my systems (openSUSE) festival is
started by a systemd service file.
I've included mine below and it should work on mint but I make no
guarantees.
Copy the below into a file called festival.service
On openSUSE service files are in /usr/lib/systemd/system. Your mileage
may vary.
Enable with: sudo systemctl enable festival
Start with: sudo systemctl start festival.

I gave this a go with poor results. From what I deduce, the service
files are in /lib/systemd/system/festival.service, with a link at
/etc/systemd/system/. I created the festival.service file per your
suggestion.
So I have:
michael@Desk4:~$ ll /etc/systemd/system/festival.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Oct 27 07:25
/etc/systemd/system/festival.service -> /lib/systemd/system/festival.service
michael@Desk4:~$ ll /lib/systemd/system/festival.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 467 Oct 27 07:17 /lib/systemd/system/festival.service
michael@Desk4:~$
Then I tried your suggestions:
michael@Desk4:~$ sudo systemctl enable festival
Created symlink
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/festival.service →
/lib/systemd/system/festival.service.
michael@Desk4:~$ sudo systemctl start festival
Job for festival.service failed because the control process exited with
error code.
See "systemctl status festival.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
michael@Desk4:~$ systemctl status festival.service

I can start festival manually with:
michael@Desk4:~$ festival --server &
[1] 8007
michael@Desk4:~$ server Sun Oct 27 07:41:35 2019 : Festival server
started on port 1314
So, I know festival works. Unfortunately, I do not understand most of
the above.
After further review, I see in your suggested file the lines:
ExecStart=/usr/lib/festival/server start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/festival/server stop
yet I find no /usr/lib/festival/server file. Perhaps that is part of the
problem. In a search for festival, I find no server file anywhere.
Possibly it should be a space to run as a command
(i.e./usr/bin/festival server) ?
I will continue to study.
Further suggestions appreciated.
