Yes, if your event handlers are not written to consider scheduled downtime.

Globally, enable_event_handlers nagios.cfg. Per service/host:
event_handler_enabled in the definition.

However I would recommend you to use the $HOSTDOWNTIME$ and
$SERVICEDOWNTIME$ macros in your event handler definitions. If these macros
are non-zero, the service/host is in scheduled downtime. This will allow you
to have your event handlers decide how to proceed - maybe you'd like a
different action to be taken when there's scheduled downtime.
