Yes, you can, it is feast day.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes:Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday.
There are two solemnities that can fall during Lent: the Annunciation of the Lord and Saint Joseph's Day. Whenever either of these solemnities falls on a Friday, the faithful are dispensed from the requirement to abstain from meat.
You may have noted as well that Canon 1251 doesn't single out Fridays in Lent but says that "Abstinence . . . is to be observed on all Fridays". Many Catholics do not realize that the Catholic Church still requires Catholics to abstain on all Fridays of the year, either from meat or from some other good thing (as determined by each country's national conference of bishops).
Yes it is allowed during Lent. All meat is allowed during Lent except during holy days or feast days which are Fridays, Ash Wednesday and for some who strictly follow the last week of Lent or Holy Week beginning Palm Sunday ending Good Friday before Easter.
Lent is a time for penance for our sins; however, on occasions of great joy, such as feast days, time out can be taken to celebrate.
.Catholic AnswerLent is the 40 day preparation for Easter, it is a time when fasting, almsgiving, and prayer should be focused on in a more fervent fashion.
There are various Holy Days which occur during Lent. For most of the world, St. Joseph is a Holy Day of Obligation on March 19, Ireland has a Holy Day of Obligation for St. Patrick on March 17. There are other important feasts that *usually* occur during Lent, such as the Annunciation on March 25, the Chair of Saint Peter the Apostle on 22 February. Note that any day that falls during Holy Week in any particular year is not observed or is transferred until after Low Sunday (the Sunday after Easter).
There are many saints named Francis so you need to be specific. If you are referring to Francis of Assisi, his feast day is October 4th and not during Lent.
Yes you can eat meat unless the day falls on a Friday in Lent. Then you must abstain.

Lent is a time of public penance for Catholics. Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 should fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics 14-years and older should not eat meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and every Friday during Lent.
Please note lent starts on ash Wednesday and not on a Friday.
Fridays during lent are the only days on which eating meat is prohibited by the Catholic Church. If you knowingly and willfully ate meat on a Friday during lent, that is a mortal sin and you must go to confession so that you can be forgiven.
