Centennial celebrations are festivities marking a hundredth anniversary—of a nation's founding, an institution's establishment, or a significant historical event.
The phrase emphasizes the commemorative activities themselves: The centennial celebrations drew visitors from across the country.
Such occasions typically feature parades, speeches, and retrospective exhibitions honoring the milestone.
