Type of Facebook profile primarily allowing users to sign up as fans or connect with a brand, celebrity or organization.

Facebook Pages are similar to normal profiles but are designed for brands, celebrities and organizations.

What is a Facebook Page?

Pages are for organizations, businesses, celebrities, and bands to broadcast great information in an official, public manner to people who choose to connect with them. Similar to profiles, Pages can be enhanced with applications that help the entity communicate and engage with their audiences, and capture new audiences virally through friend recommendations, News Feed stories, Facebook events, and beyond.

The difference between Pages and Groups is that the former can only be created by an official representative of the organization, brand or celebrity.
