backyard party

Outdoor home celebration

A backyard party is a casual social gathering held in the outdoor area behind someone's home.

These range from simple cookouts to elaborate celebrations with decorations and catering.

The backyard setting suggests informality—guests mingle on grass, kids run around, and the host grills burgers: We're throwing a backyard party for the Fourth of July.
