Moses escaped Egypt as a fugitive, on his own. Roughly 40 years later, he led
a multitude of a few million or so Jews out of Egypt when Pharaoh, after much
fruitless coaxing, suddenly turned around and begged them to leave.
There was never any celebration to commemorate Moses' escape.
But the mass departure, known as the 'Exodus', has been commemorated
during the Jewish festival of Passover every year since it happened, and is
also recalled in Jewish prayer on every day of the year.
