Almost always countable and singular with a possessive or ordinal modifier (their anniversary, the 25th anniversary). The event being remembered is introduced with 'of' (the anniversary of the bombing).

常見錯誤

We celebrated our anniversary day yesterday.
We celebrated our anniversary yesterday.
'anniversary' already means the day, so 'anniversary day' is redundant.
It is the anniversary for our company.
It is the anniversary of our company's founding.
use 'of' + the event being remembered, not 'for'.
