WP Event Calendar is the best way to keep track of events in WordPress. It comes with:

• Seamlessly integrates into WordPress's dashboard interface
• Month & week views
• Organize events by type, category, and tag
• Easily & logically paginate through date ranges
• Safe, secure, & performant

• Download and install using the built in WordPress plugin installer.
• Activate in the "Plugins" area of your admin by clicking the "Activate" link.
• No further setup or configuration is necessary.

No. It uses WordPress's custom post-type, custom taxonomy, and metadata APIs.

No. All of WordPress's core database tables remain untouched.
