Calendars module can be found in the module menu in the left navigation bar in Composer.
This is where events can be added to display on your site. You might have a feature on your homepage, for instance, that shows upcoming events in a slideshow. A campus calendar page could have a traditional ‘grid’-format calendar, with events displayed on each day. A “News” page could show a list of upcoming events with details opening on a pop-up. All of these scenarios (and others!) can be achieved by inserting a Calendar Element onto a Composer page.
