Categories are meant for general grouping of your events just like posts.
It can be used to sort and group content into different sections. Think of them as general topics or the table of contents for your site.
Categories are there to help you identify what your events are really about; it is to assist readers in finding the right type of content in your events. Categories can be hierarchical.
- Enter the category name,
- Enter the category slug.
- Assign a parent category to create a hierarchy. The term Jazz, for example, would be the parent of Bebop and Big Band.
- The description is not prominent by default; however, some themes may show it.
- Choose an icon for the category.
- Choose a color for the category.
The output of the category should look like this:
You can also set featured image for your categories.
First, you need to enable Fallback Featured Image option in MEC Settings > General Options.
Then you can click on Upload/Add Image button under the Fallback Image section in category settings to add a featured image.

I will forward your ticket to the developer team and they will process that. If it is possible they will add this feature in future plugin updates.
I would like to filter my various calendars to only show a certain category. Can I do this with a custom shortcode? Is it even possible?

Hello!
I found quite useful the icons set in categories as my site already uses them, but I need to upload more icons (the common animal icons) how can I do so?
