Portuguese term

Marchas Populares

Portuguese to English Other Environment & Ecology Municipal Solid Waste Reg
'... os bailes, as marchas populares, os concertos, as atividades desportivas, o artesanato, as garraiadas, a quermesse, as pistas e carrosséis são algumas das atividades que constam do programa.'

This has nothing to do with the Marchas Populares that take place in Lisbon in June.
This is in another city, in July, organised by the population.

I don't think it makes sense, in this case, to leave the Portuguese term, I could provide a brief explanation, but what would be the best way to put it in just a few words?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Restaurants on the parade route are usually full on the nights of the most popular parades and on Mardi Gras day, so make your plans early with those that accept reservations.
