demonstration
Marchers with signs
A demonstration is a display or exhibition that shows how something works or proves a point: The chef gave a demonstration of proper knife technique.
In politics, a demonstration is a public gathering to protest or support a cause—a march, rally, or sit-in: Thousands joined the demonstration against the war.
The shortened form demo serves both meanings informally.
