Each event is associated with a category from your catalog, and only one event can be associated with any given category at a time. To display a list of upcoming events in your store, you must also set up a Catalog Events Carousel widget.

  2. In the upper-right corner, click Add Catalog Event.

  3. In the category tree, choose the category that you want to associate with the event.

    Because each category can have only one event at a time, any categories that already have an event are disabled.
