Calendar Break calendar events into days

[frm]

Let's take Lollapalooza 2020 for example.

It will take place Thursday, July 30 – Sunday, August 2, 2020, with the festival hours being 11 AM – 10 PM each day.

As the calendar stands, we can add Lollapalooza 2020 starting July 30 at 11 and ending on August 2 at 10 PM making a huge calendar event, blocking out other events in those days.

Would you consider the same "event" but "pages" with different hours and sharing the same cover photos? That way we can have nicely lain out calendar design that takes Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. into account without having to break it down in the description, possibly making it too cumbersome to even understand who is playing and when.

Something like /events/2020-lollapalooza/day-1.ID, /events/2020-lollapalooza/day-2.ID or even /events/2020-lollapalooza/?event_page=X, /events/2020-lollapalooza/?event_page=Y, etc. sharing the same cover photo but having different details (title [Day 2 for instance]), description, location, and times?

Thanks!

I think you're referring to proper multi-day events. Essentially allowing the creation of different daily schedules, programming and even locations under the same event entity. A few wordpress and event specific plugins do this quite well. It's a great idea because many events span several days with different times, locations and potentially routes (for maps). Good suggestion.

Exactly.

Thanks for articulating that better for me.
