"a" and "the" are together.

Question

Hello everyone,

While I was reading some stuff on BBC, I came across with this sentence: In Japan, meanwhile, the ice sculptures are man-made at the a snow festival in Sapporo. The thing which confuses me is that "a" and "the" are used together. To sum up, I didn't understand this sentence. I will be happy if you can shed light to this.

Thanks in advance.

I cannot understand it either!

"Quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus"... sometimes even the most knowledgeable person (or the BBC

) can make a mistake.

I would agree with Tanit; it looks like a mis-edit to me!

Have an amiable Wednesday,
