I'm wondering what the translation for "acto alusivo" is in this sentence:

En las escuelas, es común que estas fechas se conmemoren con actos alusivos donde se cantan canciones patrias y se bailan danzas típicas e incluso con obras de teatro que relatan el proceso de independencia.

One translation of "alusivo" is "allusive," but that can't be right. "Acto" probably means event or function, and "alusivo" describes said event or function. Ideas?

Put "acto alusivo" into the translator and one of the results is "commemorative ceremony".
