Same here.
Add’l info:
The Events Calendar 5.1.6
Wordpress timezone (Settings => General => Timezone) is set to Europe/Berlin
timedatectl status (host OS: CentOS) is also saying Europe/Berlin
[root:~] ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 6. Sep 22:14 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
I created an event for next sunday, Sep 13, 10 to 17h
Strangely in backend database I find for that particular event:
MariaDB > select * from wp_postmeta where post_id=9094 and meta_key like “_Event%”;

This seems to say, that the event starts at both 10h UTC and Europe/Berlin (CEST), which is wrong.
If I preview the above event its from 8h to 15h. If I output timezone, it adds CEST.
Ok, found the issue. It was a misconfiguration on the host OS. Problem was, that /usr/share/timezone/UTC was identical to /usr/share/timezone/Europe/Berlin, which meant, that the system had UTC = Europe/Berlin.
The fix was to re-install Linux package tzdata, which fixed the issue.
