Disney Special Events

[mickey+minnie91]

What are the different events Disneyland/DCA have throughout the year? Examples: Dapper Day, Halloween season etc.
Is there a list posted anywhere?

This thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/2019-calendar-of-events-school-breaks-and-dlr.3708938/ by @figment_jii would be a good place to start. I don't know of anything else though. I think a lot of unofficial things are "word of mouth"

If you use Facebook, it may be easier to find the smaller group meetups. I don't use facebook, so it's been hard for me. Additionally, it seems like several of the special days have cancelled. You can google the names to see if they are still around. By the way, these are unofficial groups and Disney has nothing to do with them. I noticed you grouped Halloween (a Disney event) with Dapper Days (a non Disney event).
These are the fan made unofficial events:
Gay Days
Dapper Days
Bat Day (looks like they stopped doing it)
Mermaids Day (may have quit doing it)
Nerds Day (may be under a different name, but something similar to that)
Tiki Day (pretty sure it has officially died)

Just found this link: https://www.ranker.com/list/all-unofficial-disneyland-theme-days/allison-walter

As far as actual Disneyland themed events, those should all be posted in the thread that pblack linked above.

To be clear, I don't believe any of the above events are sponsored by Disney or put on by Disney's Special Events team.

Tiki Day and the newer TikiLand Day are both still happening as of now. Adventureland Day is a more recent addition. None are sponsored by Disney.

Adventureland Day is a more recent addition.

If it’s the same event I’m thinking of, I happened upon it about six months ago. I saw about 150 different guests dressed in some variation of Indiana Jones outfits. When I asked one of the participants about it, they told me that it was in its second or third year (as I recall).

I was looking for info on the stuff that happens around early December and I can't get any info. I really want to do the candlelight processional again (did it at WDW) and would love to know if they do it at DLR still.

Yeah, it’s the first weekend in December, two nights only.

It will be Dec 7/8 this year.

And CP is definitely an official Disney event at DL!

 

[Malcon10t]

Candlelight is definitely a Special Event hosted by Disney!

Any word if they'll have the special Valentine's event in 2020 like in 2019, or any other Disneyland after dark events?

Planning a trip for Sept 13-19 in 2020--any events that might be happening around that time that I should be aware of? Looks like a pretty quiet time, might be the the first week of the Halloween party, but other than that I didn't find anything...

Are there any special activities/food for Three Kings Day in addition to the normal Christmas celebration?

Ask this in the Holiday Time Superthread: 2019 Holiday Time at DLR Superthread: 11/08/19 - 1/06/20!. You should get specific answers there from DISers who remember what happened last year.
