Fiestas Patrias de Chile

I know "patria" means "native country" but is there a different translation for Chile's 2-day independence day celebration called "Fiestas Patrias"? Native Country Party doesn't sound right. Would it be Patriots Party?

Instead of trying to literally translate you could say "Independence Day Celebration". A lot of countries have such a day to celebrate liberation from oppressor such and such, so it would be a translation that is universally understood while a literal translation might not be as easily understood.

That's what I have said so far. DIdn't know if there is an actual translation though. I assume there is? - penney, Sep 28, 2010
