How do you hyphenate “many-day long”?

I am describing an event that lasts for more than 68 continuous hours, and I want to describe it as a “multi-day long” event. But I don’t know where to put the hypen(s) in that phrase.

If you’re creating a noun phrase drop the “long” and just call it multi-day event”

Alternately, consider “the event spans multiple days” or (less elegantly) “the event is multiple days”!

What are some examples of how to hyphenate it as a multi-day event as it’s the ultimate expo?

You can have a daylong event, so multi is simply added to the start of the compound adjective. Does this look weird?

In addition to other solution, you can call it a days-long event. What is a bit strange here?
