seasonal festivals
Yearly recurring observances
Seasonal festivals are celebrations tied to particular times of year, typically marking agricultural cycles, solstices, equinoxes, or religious observances.
They recur annually and often involve traditional foods, rituals, and gatherings: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are all seasonal festivals.
The term emphasizes the cyclical, calendar-bound nature of such events rather than one-time celebrations.
