Sounds like it, but since the Feast seems to be primarily religious in origin, it's also possible that secular authorities are just more lenient during that period and choose to overlook minor crimes (or crimes against those "less important"). They'd keep up relations with the Abbey by respecting its holidays and traditions to a certain degree, but wouldn't have to ignore serious threats to society.

Criminal activity might be ignored ruing the Fugue Feast as long as the perpetrators know the limits of the authorities' tolerance, but I doubt that - just as an example - Corvo would have avoided prison if Jessamine had died during the Fugue Feast.
