 * I want to have a sidebar on my events pages. I can do this by going to my Events
   settings and changing the basic template settings to Full Styles and Default 
   Page Template. That way, it reflects the format of my theme settings. However,
   how do I add widgets to the sidebar? It would be nice to have, on the Widgets
   page, a way to add widgets to the events page template. Also, can I display the
   event info, i.e., details, organizer, venue and map, in the sidebar? I would 
   be willing to upgrade to Events Calendar Pro if it has these features.

 * You did not answer my question, which is not about adding an events list widget
   to the sidebar.

 * Hey [@mgoodkin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgoodkin/),
 * Sorry for the oversight on my part. There is no custom sidebar for events pages.
   It is dictated by your theme’s main sidebar, though there are several different
   ways to accomplish custom sidebars with WordPress. I suggest checking out [this article](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/free-custom-sidebars-plugin/?wpcv=b&utm_expid=3606929-93.spVh-aR3SwGklKzL4HJQQg.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F)
   here about this topic. 🙂
 * Best,
 * Shelby 🙂
