anniversary celebration
Annual milestone event
An anniversary celebration is an event or gathering marking the yearly recurrence of a significant date—a wedding, founding, or historical milestone.
The phrase emphasizes the festive occasion itself rather than just the date: They're planning a big anniversary celebration for the company's fiftieth year.
Often shortened to simply "anniversary" when context is clear.
