Packed with loads of useful features, The Events Calendar is ready to go right out of the box. It’s extensible, easy to use, and completely customizable.

But there’s also a PRO version of the plugin that enables you to install add-ons for recurring events, ticket sales, publicly-submitted events, and more. The Events Calendar is currently used on more than 600,000 WordPress websites, and is backed by a friendly support team.
