How about "The Day of Summer Birthday Celebrations" or just "Summer Birthday Celebrations"?

Celebrating Summer Birthdays?

Thank you for replies.
I was thinking about "Summer Birthdays Celebration". Probably it sounds more confusing then "Summer Birthday Celebrations"...

It depends on the event:
"Summer Birthdays Celebration" is a single event for lots of people who had birthdays over the summer
"Summer Birthday Celebrations" are lots of events, each for a single person who had a birthday over the summer.

I suspect this is not standard, but my kid's school calls them "Half-Birthday Celebration'... all the kids with birthday's in summer, they celebrate their 'half birthday' (ie 6mons away) during the school year, so they do not miss out on a school birthday party, due to summer vacation.

That's a very interesting idea - half-birthday celebration! Thanks for pointing that out for me.

What my son had in his class was a school birthday party for five pupils simultaneously, and it was not exactly 6 months after the real anniversary of birth of anyone of them.
