A noun that's a good substitution for "get-togethers"?

Can someone help me find a noun that's substitution for "get-togethers". I think I read it somewhere but I forget what it is.

Thanks

You could use "gathering" depending how you are wording the sentence

Carousal or debauchery..I mean you have to tell the sentence where you want to use it..what kind of get together a formal one or informal one..

I think I saw other word different from carousal and debauchery, and I want to mention the informal get-togethers, just get-togethers for chit-chatting. Anyway, thanks for your help

Function, event, visit, party, shindig, meeting... I guess I like gathering.

NOUN AND NOUN

I'm confusing when I use Noun and Noun, so what verb I make. Plural ? Is it?
Ex: A pencil and a pen are on the table or is ?

When two nouns combine by "and" . Almost use plural verb :)
