question clarification

| Sep 26, 2018 at 14:52 | comment | added | S.Z. | @ColleenV Thank you for your direction, but I'm sorry to say the link does NOT apply to my case. The Dragon Boat Festival is a set day and date without ambiguity, and the "during" solution does NOT really work with a 1-day national holiday. If you say ON and AT are both out (because DURING is idiomatic), I'm fine with that. My question is THIS: ON or AT. Any thoughts? | |

If it is a traditional food that you might eat at home during the day of the festival (instead of going to the festival and buying cakes there), "during" might be a good choice. For example "Mooncake is the most popular and important food eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival." (source) | |
