is it for event that is made by human or any occassions such as raining or other natural disasters too...

for instance: tha rain took place yesterday. or the birthday party will take place at Bruce's house. which one is the correct one? or both are correct instead?

i hope my question is understandable...

thanks,

Take place to me sounds natural only for planned events, though no doubt you will find instances of other uses.

so is it like the phrase "happening" or "held" (for an event)?
