Its a cross between a party and a gathering:
.Doesn't require invitation but does have a host.
.May not be in a hall or function room but may have
music playing and require dancing.
.A Gatherty can be themed e.g fancy dress, cherades etc...
.Not necessarily fixed in one location, e.g a group may floww into the street or a
park and still be participating in gatherty-ness.
.Gatherties are normaly not an event celebrating
something and there is not a dress code except for themed gatherties.
