Spanish translation:(Gran) festival de la marmota
Explanation:
Esto sí, que me lo sé. Enseñé español en el mero pueblo de la famosa marmota "meteorologa"--Punxsutawny, y claro que tuvimos que hablar de ella/él (en realidad, es un macho que se llama Phil).

Por ser "gala" el término en inglés, la mejor traducción me parece "festival", por combinar fiesta con representación dramática.

Te doy una página en inglés sobre la gran celebración de la marmota que se hace anualmente en Punxsutawny:

Groundhog Day Celebration HomePage. GHD is every February 2nd at Gobbler's Knob,
Punxsutawney, PA, USA. Who is Punxsutawney Phil? ... Punxsutawney Phil's Predictions. ...
