over the weekend

through the weekend
until the weekend
throughout the weekend
by the weekend

"At" or "on" aren't generally used when referring to the weekend. If you want to express that something will occur at that time, you'd say "over the weekend" or "during the weekend."

In AE, we often use on weekends/the weekend; BE uses at the weekend.

Other than that, I refer you to Ouisch's more extensive list.

Yes; "at the weekend" in BrE, though I now sometimes hear "on the weekend".

Similarly, a slightly French-sounding "Good weekend!" is becoming more common, in place of the more usual "Have a good weekend!".
