What's Your Favorite Events Calendar Plug-In?

That seems like a tall order, Eric. You want users on the front-end to be able to log in and add events, or is this an administrative back-end feature? When you say searchable, you mean "find every event that contains this word" or "show me the events of this category in December"?

We recently deployed the JEvents events module with DT Register on a Joomla site for event registration and payment processing for Logansport Memorial Hospital. The event calendar was a pretty small component of the overall site development project, but we're about to revisit the calendar to accommodate more events with group registrations, early-bird pricing, and other features that will handle large events like fundraisers.

I guess this means you haven't decided on a CMS yet.

Thus far JEvents seems to have most of what I was looking for. Joomla is the front runner for the CMS as of yet. I was simply open to learning something new if there was "the greatest community calendar app ever" on a different CMS. The way I see this working is having a set of people set up as publishers from various businesses, venues, government, etc and they would be able to add their own content. The other side to that would be to allow general public users to submit events for review. I think JEvents handles that part, what I would really like though is something that will also accept event registrations and of course, handle the transaction if there was a cost involved (typically there isn't at this point).
