public celebration
Civic jubilee event
A public celebration is a festive gathering open to the community, marking an occasion of shared significance—holidays, victories, milestones, or cultural events.
Unlike private parties, public celebrations happen in streets, parks, or civic spaces: The city held a public celebration after the team won the championship.
Parades, fireworks displays, and festivals are typical forms.
