anniversary party

Annual milestone gathering

An anniversary party is a celebration marking the yearly return of a significant date—typically a wedding anniversary, though also company foundings, historical events, or other milestones.

The term usually implies a gathering with guests rather than a private observance: They're throwing a big anniversary party for their parents' fiftieth.
