========================= ocirrir, occupar ===============

Answer 3

the crazy thing about "ser" in this case is that if you are talking about something taking place (Somewhere) you would say,

"El concurso es en el parque."

Estar is more commonly used for asking location, but someone can ask where something is using Ser,

"¿Donde es el concurso?".

Ser is used widely for asking location of events. Once again, this is a little bit advanced but always good to keep in mind. =p
