An incident is an event or occurrence (often used to describe negative events), while occasion is a favorable opportunity or a convenient/timely chance. Ex: Do you remember that stalking incident that happened at school last year? They finally caught the guy. Ex: Look at this job fair! I think this is the perfect occasion for you to get your dream job.
