Hi hamara,
The Events Calendar is designed that way on purpose. While users may be presented with a blank calendar this month, it is clear there are no events. Users can then scroll through upcoming months to find the next event. When presented with the month of the next upcoming event, in your case February, users tend to scroll back to see the current month and then go ahead again because they now realize why it didn’t show. It can be frustrating for them, especially when the next upcoming event is several months out.
If you want to highlight the next upcoming event, perhaps you want to consider the list view as default. Does that make sense?
