street march
Organized walking demonstration
A street march is a public demonstration in which participants walk together through streets to protest, advocate, or commemorate.
Unlike parades, street marches carry political or social intent: The street march for civil rights drew thousands.
The term emphasizes the route—public thoroughfares—distinguishing it from rallies held in fixed locations.
