To address the funding and why a parade or the stampede requires funding durring a recession I thin it's important to note that if the parade does generate 150 million in tourist spending then that is $400k well spent.

The job of the government durring a recession is to encourage growth and to stimulate the economy. $400k to help generate $150 million in spending is a pretty cheap price tag.
