comes to a close
Reaches its end
Comes to a close means to end or finish, typically used for events, periods, or processes that conclude gradually rather than abruptly: As the ceremony came to a close, guests began to leave.
The phrase suggests a natural or expected ending rather than a sudden stop: The fiscal year comes to a close in March.
