About Sugar Calendar
Sugar Calendar is steadily closing the gap with The Events Calendar, feed quiet since August.
Each recent minor version adds a discrete event-management pillar: 3.7 brought RSVPs, tags, and speakers; 3.6 flexible per-instance recurring events plus expanded Stripe and import options; 3.5 reusable venues; 3.3 one-click migration from The Events Calendar and dark mode; 3.0 an admin and calendar-block revamp. The newest entry is August 2025, so the feed is several months stale.
