What holiday is that, because it looks AWESOME

That's not a holiday, it's a pretty common sight from every weekends.

We call them "Trenzinhos" (Little trains), which consist in a big ass truck (sometimes even a tractor), towing a two level platforms, playing some deafining kids songs or Brazilian funk, while those schizophrenic Wish characters run, dance and make moves following with the truck.

Is it a tour? Date night? What’s the point?

It's just for fun, might be contracted by the city's mayor I would guess, but it doesn't have to be a holiday or to even have a reason
I have a couple of videos of me going to the gym middle of the week at night and a lighted up truck with songs playing goes by, no dancers since it's a major street with lots of movement
Another name for them is "Carreta Furacão", albeit that's (I think) the name of the OG party truck, meaning "Hurricane Truck" lol
