Everything in WordPress is done via the Dashboard. What you need is an event calendar plugin. Here’s a nice one with a good 5 star rating. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kino-event-calendar-plugin/
First off, since you ask this question, I’ll assume you’re not familiar with widgets. So the first thing you’ll need to do is look at your blog’s sidebar(s) and write down what’s already in there and their order. Because once you drag a new widget into it it’s going to blow away what’s currently in there by default and you’ll need to put them back in in Step #7 below.
1) Go to your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New > and search on Kino Events Calendar.
2) Install it.
3) Activate it.
4) To use it, go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets.
5) Decide which sidebar, if you have more than one, you want it to display in. Then on the left side of the page, find the widget you just installed and drag it into the sidebar.
6) Under Dashboard > Settings there should appear a new entry for configuring your events.
7) Now go back to your sidebar in step #5 and and drag all the other widgets that were there back in. You only need to do that once unless you decide to change something.
The reason the widgets get blown away when you first start tweeking with the sidebars is because they are put there by the programmer of the theme. As long as you don’t touch the sidebars, they’ll stay there. When you start moving things around in the sidebars, they “disappear” and you just have to drag the ones you want to display back in.
