Parties were island-wide occurrences that happened almost every month on Club Penguin. Every party celebrated something different with a specific theme, i.e. pirates, sports, etc., or even a celebration of a holiday, such as Halloween or Christmas. During parties, a large portion of the island was usually decorated, rooms had special party music, and free items and special quests were common. Mascots could also be met during many parties, and parties occasionally had special stamps for completing activities during them. Exclusive Party Rooms were also present during some parties.
In Club Penguin's earlier years, parties usually lasted 5 days or less. In 2005-2007, parties were typically small in scale, and had minimal decorations. Over time, parties grew in scale, and often decorated most rooms on the island. Partway through 2009, some parties increased in length, and could last a week in more. By 2011, parties often lasted 10-14 days or longer. In mid-2016, each party would last over a month, and as soon as one ended, the next would begin.
Although often referred to collectively as "parties", a few were not necessarily celebratory in nature. For instance, Operation: Blackout featured Herbert P. Bear take control of the island.
Events[]
"Events" were a sub-category of parties. Events, similar to parties, focused on a specific topic, yet were very small scale- often occurring in more than a few rooms, and sometimes even occurring during a larger party. Among the events were New Year's Days, Scavenger Hunts, and more. There is no official definition on what was considered an event versus a party; for this wiki, they are considered events if they were small relative to other occurrences at the time. The exception is Anniversary Parties, as they always had "party" in their name, and were special celebrations.
Party rooms[]

In addition to the ordinary decorated rooms in parties, some parties had extra rooms, which were made specifically for the currently-held party. Party rooms were largely used in parties with mazes in them, such as Medieval Parties with Ye Knight's Quests, or the Great Snow Race and Cave Maze.
Sponsored Parties[]

There were 17 sponsored parties in Club Penguin, promoting other Walt Disney (in most cases) brands. Club Penguin created their first sponsored party in June 2012. Some sponsored parties had the suffix "takeover".
