family celebration

Kin commemorating together

A family celebration is a gathering of relatives to mark a significant occasion—birthdays, weddings, graduations, holidays, or reunions.

The term emphasizes both the familial bond and the commemorative purpose: The whole clan came together for a family celebration of Grandma's ninetieth.

These events range from intimate dinners to large parties spanning generations.
