What is an Event Calendar?

The Event Calendar is used to display your upcoming events on your page. Visitors can navigate your calendar by scrolling through months with the arrow keys or highlight the current day by clicking the "today" button.  Visitors can also choose how they view your events by toggling between a calendar or list view. Clicking the name of the Event will take visitors to the event listing itself for more details.
