jubilee celebration

Milestone anniversary party

A jubilee celebration marks a significant anniversary, especially of a monarch's reign or an institution's founding.

The jubilee itself denotes the milestone—silver (25 years), golden (50), diamond (60 or 75)—while the celebration encompasses the festivities honoring it: The town planned an elaborate jubilee celebration for the queen's fifty years on the throne.
