penny carnival

English to Spanish Other Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino Children\'s club
I'm translating something for a group that's organizing kids' clubs in Cuba, and one of the events they suggest having to get families together is a penny carnival. I understand there are games people play (stands) and sometimes food. In Mexico I think we'd call that a "kermés". Any other ideas or knowledge of a Cuban equivalent?
Proposed translations (Spanish)

El término bazar, o tal vez feria Andrés sugiere bazar y también se me ocurrió. Pero un bazar en general no es tanto de juegos, que es lo principal aquí. Tal vez una pequeña feria?
