I think the question needs more clarification in terms of its context. If the context is referring to the festival as an assembly, (文化)艺术大會 might be more appropriate. However, if is the event segment (as in the occasion) then is 节 might be more appropriate.

@Krazer. When it is used in the context of a place name + Festival (As in Edinburgh Festival) it refers to the whole occasion.
