milestone celebration
Landmark event festivity
A milestone celebration marks a significant achievement or turning point—a birthday ending in zero, a wedding anniversary, a company's fiftieth year in business.
The term combines the idea of milestones (markers of progress along a journey) with formal recognition: They're planning a milestone celebration for her 100th birthday.
Such events tend to be larger or more elaborate than ordinary observances.
