clan gatherings
Family group meetings
Clan gatherings are periodic assemblies where members of an extended family or kinship group come together, often combining reunion, tradition, and shared heritage.
Scottish clans hold formal gatherings with Highland games and ceremonies, but any large family reunion might be called a clan gathering: The annual clan gathering draws relatives from across the country.
The term suggests tribal or ancestral bonds rather than mere family get-togethers.
