I think so. I heard someone in Zonko's saying that it's because of the big Frost Faire in New London and how people couldn't get away, so they wanted to do something similar. Only I guess the stuff in Hogsmeade wasn't as organised, was it? No giant skating rinks or big pavilions with concerts in!
I didn't buy a whole lot. There was this one dead cool toy. It spins like a top but you point your wand at it and it flies where you want it to go. Takes a little practice to get it right. Capper nearly sent it into the Ravenclaw common room fireplace before he got the hang of it!
The sword juggler was wizard. Did you see the stilt-walking troupe? One of them sent charmed birds right down the high street.
