Lørdag 21. januar 2017 feiret Petra Honningsvåg sin 80-årsdag sammen med over 70 gjester.
Festen fant sted i de tidligere skolelokalene i Honningsvågen på Stadlandet. Det var flott sang og musikk og masse god mat. Koldtbord med kalde og varme retter og et gedigent dessertbord og kaffe.
Petra holdt et innsiktfullt kåseri om sitt eget liv, og også om familien bakover i historien. Kåseriet ble krydret ved at 86 bilder fra 1800-tallet og frem til i dag ble vist i stort format på 
veggen.
Mange fine gaver og hilsninger, blant annet fra Canada og USA, ble det også på jubilanten.
