An event is something that takes placeāan occurrence and arbitrary point in time. The term also refers to a significant occurrence or happening, or a social gathering or activity.
Individuals define an event's significance subjectively; people actively and retroactively compartmentalize their lives and history in terms of epochs delimited by events considered to be significant.
Culture
A special occasion, such as a wedding or other party, is a social event.
