gala day
Special event day
A gala day is a day of celebration or festivity, marked by special events, ceremonies, or entertainment.
The term suggests something grander than an ordinary holiday—a day when people gather for public celebrations, parades, or formal occasions: The town's centennial was a gala day for all.
Now somewhat old-fashioned.
