community events

Local group activities

Community events are gatherings organized for people in a shared locality or group—festivals, town meetings, fundraisers, farmers markets, block parties.

The phrase emphasizes accessibility and collective participation: The library posts community events on its bulletin board.

Often contrasted with private or commercial gatherings, community events aim to bring people together rather than generate profit.
