English term or phrase: signature civic events
I am translating the tour brochure of a company based in the US, advertising its various packages to get to know the city.
One if these packages is the "Festival and Sports Tour", which description is: "Experience the city's sports scene and signature civic events".
I translated the beginning by: "Vivez le sport en direct à [ville] et...."
Any idea? I found a few ghits but nothing very helpful to me..
Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
Civic events ce sont les évènements locaux liés à ou organisés par la ville ou la municipalité. "signature" a un sens de "caractéristique"... il faudrait donc tourner la phrase dans le genre "vivez le sport en direct à (...) et les évènements officiels locaux qui lui sont si caractéristiques..."
