silver jubilees

Twenty-fifth anniversary festivities

Silver jubilees are twenty-fifth anniversaries, especially of a monarch's reign or other significant milestone.

The term comes from the tradition of associating silver with twenty-five years, as in silver wedding anniversaries.

The Queen's silver jubilee brought celebrations across the Commonwealth.

The singular form marks any such occasion: They're planning a silver jubilee for the company's founding.
