• Above is the corrected form of the given sentence. The error in the sentence is as follows;

1. In the phrase 'a' of the sentence, the word 'then' must be replaced by the word 'than'. There is no significance of the word then in the sentence.
2. In the phrase 'b' of the sentence, the tense form of celebrated must be corrected by replacing it with celebrating to match the tense form of the sentence, which is present continuous.
3. Further in the phrase 'd' of the sentence, punctuation, and prepositions were to be corrected. Capital letters must be used for proper nouns. In addition, it must be noted that before a date, the preposition 'on' is used. 'At' is used for a description of a place.
4. In the phrase 'e' of the sentence, there is an error regarding the preposition. In the phrase. from must be replaced by at as the phase talks of a place a certain event was held.
