house parties
Residential social events
House parties are social gatherings held at someone's home rather than a venue, typically involving music, drinking, and dancing.
The term often suggests informal, crowded affairs—the kind thrown when parents are away or in college apartments: The neighbors complained about the noise from our house party.
In electronic music culture, house parties were the informal predecessors to club events.
