social event

Planned community function

A social event is a gathering where people come together primarily for interaction and enjoyment rather than work or formal business.

The term covers everything from casual parties to weddings, fundraisers, and galas.

The company holiday party was the biggest social event of the year.

Social events typically involve shared food, drink, or entertainment.
