birthday bash

Yearly anniversary festivity

A birthday bash is a birthday party, typically a lively or elaborate one.

Bash suggests something more festive than an ordinary gathering—more guests, more noise, more celebration: We're throwing a huge birthday bash for her fiftieth.

The word works for children's parties and adult celebrations alike.
