WordPress Events gives you a simple interface for adding events to your site and displays them in a beautiful calendar with pop up details.
Simply add events in an interface you are already used to and display your calendar by adding the shortcode <code>[calendar]</code> to any page of post!
New in 0.2 !
Multiple user calendars! Allow individual users to have their own calendar and display different calendars by specifying a user id in the shortcode. For example [calendar user=2] will display the calendar for the user with an ID of 2.
Built in sharing generates tiny urls that when linked to opens the shared event in a pop up just as if the user had clicked on it.
Google maps integration allows you to add a map of the venue.

I’m Matthew Fries (that’s where the MF in MF Gig Calendar comes from) and I’m a jazz pianist and educator. I’m not able to support this plugin as enthusiastically as before, but I developed it originally because I wanted a flexible and easy to use performance calendar for <a href="https://matthewfries.com" rel="nofollow ugc">my own music website</a>. In the process I tried to create something that would work for more than just musicians. I’ve added a few features since it started:
<h4>Current Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>beginning and end dates for multiple-day events</li>
<li>WordPress’s WYSIWYG editor for the event description so you can include styled text, links, images and other media in your event list</li>
<li>a duplicate function to make it easier if you have a repeating event that you don’t want to re-enter over and over</li>
<li>an RSS feed</li>
<li>a widget to list a few upcoming events in the sidebar</li>
<li>an archive to view past events by year</li>
<li>supports localization (waiting on translations…)</li>
<li>shortcode variables to customize the output</li>
</ul>
The calendar can be placed in any PAGE or POST on your WordPress site – even in more than one place. Just include the following short code where you want the calendar to appear:
<pre><code>[mfgigcal]
</code></pre>
Requires WordPress 3.3 or newer because of the changes to the WordPress WYSIWYG editor. Personally tested up to 6.2.2.

</ul>
As a general rule I’ve tried to keep this as simple and flexible as possible.
