What are the 7 Jewish candles called?
The seven-branched candelabrum, known as the "Menorah" and described in great detail in Exodus, was one of the major implements first in the traveling 'Mishkan' after the Exodus from Egypt, and later in the First and Second Holy Temples in Jerusalem. The more recent Temple was sacked and looted by the Romans some 1,940 years ago, in the year 70, and its implements carried off. Their whereabouts are unknown, and the Menorah plays no significant role in Judaism except as an historical symbol, since then.
Are there nighttime events in Hanukkah?
The main "event" of Hanukkah is the evening candle lighting. (Every night of the 8 nights of Hanukkah the menorah is lit with one more candle; thus on the first evening 1 candle is lit, on the 8th evening 8 candles are lit.) Candle lighting is done preferably at dusk or as the starts come out. Latecomers can light as long as they have an audience - until dawn. After candle lighting it is customary to sing songs (like Ma'oz Tzur) and play with a dreidel; a 4 sided Hanukkah-top.

What is a menoah and what role does it have in the word Hanukkah ceremonies?
A menorah is like a strait candelabra, with nine holes (one of those nine is for the Shammash, the tall candle, so there are really only eight). Every Jew is obligated to light them, one candle each night, adding one each night (assuming you can afford it. If not, there are other ways of doing it, but no one does it like those other ways nowadays). For example, (excluding the Shammesh) you light one candle the first night, two the second night etc. Place the candles on the far right of the menorah (excluding the shammash) and if there are more than one candle, light from left to right. Lighting the Menorah is the Mitzva, commandment - of Hanukkah.
Where does the sixth candle get placed on the menorah?
Every day, we place the candles on the right side (so that the candle to the far left is lit only on the eighth night). The candles are lit from left to right, so that the newest candle is lit first. On the sixth night, the two holders on the left side of the menorah remain empty.
