TWO POWERFUL ELEMENTOR WIDGETS

1. Eventful Events Grid
Display your events in a responsive multi-column grid. Choose up to 4 columns with independent column and row gaps. Switch between a standard card layout or a full overlay style where content appears directly on top of the event image.

2. Eventful Events Carousel
Turn your events into an interactive carousel powered by Swiper.js. Pick from Standard, Center-mode, or Ticker (auto-scrolling marquee) modes with five transition effects: Slide, Fade, Coverflow, Cube, and Flip.
