agree  Sheila Wilson: Although I think it's important to note that these events would normally last all day (4-5 hours minimum)
10 mins
  -> Hi Sheila, yes, all day events.

agree  corbettb
46 mins
  -> Thanks

agree  Stephanie Ezrol
1 hr

neutral  Ildiko Santana: I believe these are DAYS and not events. To say "events/activities that take place during the day" makes "event" the subject while it should be "day" - and event day is "a day of fun events" as Tina pointed out below.
1 day4 hrs
  -> Well, OK, an event that is a day, or a day that is an event!

neutral  Amel Abdullah: I agree with ildiko.
