to hold a festival
Hello. Are there any mistakes in the sentence below? Is it "being held" or "held"?"It gets really chaotic here when a festival or a music concert is held"
Hi Sonia, "being held" and "held" are both correct. Both are in the passive voice. So you could also say it in the active voice =>
"It gets really chaotic here when they are holding a festival or a music concert."
"It gets really chaotic here when they hold a festival or a music concert."
Let me know if you have any questions.

To my native English (USA) ears "being held" sounds more natural. As "being" is an auxilliary to the word held.

I wish I could answer this but unfortunately, I am not sure that my answer would be correct. But I just recognized Howl's castle and wanted to say hello :)
I think it's 'being held', but take it with a grain of salt.
