Fifty years of not quitting, dressed up as a party.
means The 50th anniversary of a notable event, especially a monarch's reign, marked by celebration.
from From French 'jubilé,' tracing back to Latin 'iubilaeum,' rooted in Hebrew 'yobel' meaning 'ram's horn' — the trumpet blown to proclaim the biblical Jubilee year, a sabbatical reset of debts and land every fifty years. 'Golden' was tacked on later to mark the fiftieth specifically, distinguishing it from the diamond (60th) and silver (25th) anniversaries in a whole family of metal-coded milestones.
