row / series
'die Reihe' and 'die Veranstaltungsreihe' can both mean a sequence of several similar things. But 'die Reihe' is much more general: it can be about events, tasks, numbers, or other things. 'die Veranstaltungsreihe' only fits when several events belong together, for example lectures, concerts, or workshops. Learners may confuse the words because both contain 'Reihe'. When you are specifically talking about planned public events, 'Veranstaltungsreihe' is more precise.
