summer party
A celebration that usually takes place outdoors during the summer and is organized by an organization, company, or community.
Unsere Firma veranstaltet jedes Jahr ein großes Sommerfest für alle Mitarbeiter und ihre Familien.
Our company holds a big summer party every year for all employees and their families.
The word is simply made up of 'der Sommer' (summer) and 'das Fest' (party/festival). So it literally means a celebration that takes place in the summer.
Das Sommerfest findet dieses Jahr im Stadtpark statt.
The summer party is taking place in the city park this year.
A summer party is typically 'veranstaltet' (held), 'organisiert' (organized), or 'gefeiert' (celebrated). You can also 'zu einem Sommerfest gehen' (go to a summer party) or 'daran teilnehmen' (take part in it).
Der Sportverein organisiert jedes Jahr ein Sommerfest für seine Mitglieder.
The sports club organizes a summer party for its members every year.
Summer parties are often organized by institutions or communities. Common contexts are 'Sommerfest der Schule' (school summer party), 'das Sommerfest des Kindergartens' (the kindergarten summer party), or 'Sommerfest der Nachbarschaft' (neighborhood summer party).

celebration
'die Feier' and 'das Sommerfest' both refer to an event where people come together and celebrate something. 'die Feier' is the more general term and can fit many occasions, private or official. 'das Sommerfest' is a specific kind of celebration: it takes place in summer, often outdoors, and is organized for example by a school, company, or club. The words can be confused because every summer party can be a celebration. But not every celebration is a summer party.
Das Sommerfest der Schule findet dieses Jahr auf dem Sportplatz statt.
The school's summer party is taking place on the sports field this year.
