If much different, is there any other "special" season for parade / fireworks? 2. Are iasw outside lights different at night during rest of the year? 3. Does Santa Claus character appear in the holiday parade after 25Dec until New Year?

This year DL had extra pay per party events for Halloween. Sorry you missed the Holiday parade. Yes Santa is still visiting after Xmas day but he is relaxing in his nightcap and robe. I think his nightcap said Happy New Year.
