Bring about a special event (8)
I believe the answer is:
occasion
I believe this is a double definition.
'bring about' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'a special event' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for occasion that I've seen before include "Time of (maybe special) event" , "Cocoa's in (anag.)" , "Make happen" , "Cause - event" , "Provoke" .)
