The Megilla reading and distribution of charity take place on Friday (Adar 14, called Purim dePrazos). The Al ha-Nissim prayer is recited on the Sabbath (Adar 15, Purim itself). On Sunday (Adar 16), called Purim Meshullash, mishloach manot are sent and the festive Purim meal is held. Intervals between occurrences vary considerably, ranging from three to twenty years.
