Hey Brenda and happy Friday!
Great question — yes, The Events Calendar is fully integrated with Community Events. There is no need to include Events Calendar PRO to the mix, unless you want to.
If you were to add Events Calendar PRO, it would allow you visitors to submit recurring events.
i’m sure you’re already aware of it, but we have a nonprofit program that I’d encourage you to check out. If your organization qualifies for it, then we’d be happy to grant you a free license for Events Calendar PRO. 🙂
Does this help answer your question? Please let me know.
Cheers!
Geoff
