[[Dance party|Dance parties]] are gatherings in bars or community centers where the guests dance to [[house music]], [[Techno|techno music]], or [[disco]]. The music for dance parties is usually selected and played by a [[disc jockey]].

A spin-off of dance parties, the [[rave]] involves dancing to loud [[house music]], [[Techno|techno music]], or [[industrial music]]. Rave parties may be attended by as few as a score of people in a basement or, more likely, by a few hundred people in a club, to as many as thousands in a large warehouse, field, or even tens of thousands in a sporting arena, amusement park, or other large space. Raves are associated with illegal drugs such as [[Ecstasy (drug)|ecstasy]] and [[psychedelic drugs]].

A [[house party]] is a party where a large group of people get together at a private home to socialize. House parties that involve the drinking of beer pumped from a [[keg]] are called keg parties or "keggers." These parties are popular in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia and are often attended by people under the [[legal drinking age]]. Sometimes, even older party-goers run afoul of the law for having provided [[alcoholic beverage]]s to minors. Arrests may also be made for violating a noise ordinance, for [[disorderly conduct]],<ref>[http://www.post-gazette.com/regionstate/20011104beertag1104p6.asp Law would tag beer kegs to fight use by the young] "While it affects all adults who buy kegs, the proposed law is aimed at the 21-to-23-year-old crowd, particularly college students, who don't think twice about buying a keg or 10 for a weekend bash.

Outdoor parties include bush parties and beach parties. Bush parties (also called "field parties") are held in a secluded area of a forest ("bush"), where friends gather to drink and talk. These parties are often held around a [[bonfire]]. Beach parties are held on a sandy shoreline of a lake, river, or sea, and also often feature a bonfire.

School-related parties for teenagers and young adults include [[prom]]s and [[Graduation|graduation parties]], which are held in honor of someone who has recently graduated from a school or university.
