No, It can never be an occasion it has to be a celebration.

I think it should be event.

It will not be 'event' because 'event' is preceded by 'in'. E.g: She was amazing in that event. Again same with 'celebration'. So the right answer is occasion because occasion can well be preceded by 'on'.

...In the celebration..

.."ON"..so it is occasion...
...In the celebration..
here the sentence is..
.."ON"..so it is occasion...
