There's two parades in my town in Spain where they throw soft candy for the people watching (during Christmas - it used to be hard candy until recently lmfao) and one parade where they throw small pastries called 'coques de Sant Antoni' wrapped in baking paper (it's so good)

And I'm curious if this happens in other parts of the world, which I'm sure it does but I've never heard of them and I'd love to know :3c

I would like it noted I had full intentions of writing a Thanksgiving themed oneshot where the di Angelos (Maria's father, Maria, Bianca, and Nico) go to the 1940 Macy Thanksgiving Day parade and parallel it with Nico and Will going in modern day (like, I had done research on what balloons and floats were in the 1940 parade and everything) and then just never started it. Would it be too weird to write a Thanksgiving oneshot not on USA Thanksgiving? Because I want to write it, but waiting a whole year to publish it is a lot for me. Also, I haven't fully decided if I want the modern day one to be in the Operation Solangelo universe or not which is partly why it won't be done today.

Actually, I do have a thing for the sk boyos! And partially about the town!

Does the town have things like Christmas parades, and do the boys attend? Christmas decorated floats, school marching bands, ambulances/firetrucks? We have those where I'm from, and the whole town is there! It's beautifully decorated always

The folks there don't really have Christmas parades in Pinewood, but they do have parties! They host the gatherings either outside or in the high school gym, it depends on weather conditions. Sun and Moon love to help set things up and entertain the kids.

Most parade-esque celebrations occur in the summer, usually in the month of July. Sun is more involved than Moon, as Moon does not like being out in the summer heat. For reasons.
