How it's used

Use it when referring to official functions, large scale festivals, or significant public ceremonies.
Examples
They held a very grand wedding.
Is there a grand celebration event tomorrow?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe everyday items or small gatherings, as it sounds overly formal and out of place. It is strictly reserved for events with a high level of ceremony or a large number of participants.
