All 7 serve their own unique purposes and can be of course tailored to your specific needs. If you know of any other calendar plugins for wordpress that you have found useful than hit me up with a comment and share.
Events Calendar
Events-Calendar is a diverse replacement for the original calendar included with WordPress adding many useful functions to keep track of your events. The plugin has an easy to use admin section that displays a big readable calendar and lets you add and delete events. The plugin is widget ready so you can easily add a small calendar to the main sidebar with the ability to roll over the highlighted event day to see a brief description of the event or click the day to get a full description of the event without ever leaving your current page. If you are not using a widget ready theme, you can still have the calendar on your sidebar. Simply place “” in the sidebar file. The widget can also show a specified number of events as a list. You will find these options under the widget option.
The ability to add a large public calendar is now available by posting a page and adding “[[EventsCalendarLarge]]” to the page content to create a stand alone calendar page. Also, when entering an event from the admin section, you can check the box saying “Create Post for Event”, which will cause a post to be created with the event information.
AJAX Calendar
AJAX Calendar is a plugin that will display an AJAXified WordPress calendar. This enhances the functionality of the standard calendar by:
* Allowing the asynchronous navigation of months, without updating the page
* Adding a drop-down list of post titles in each month (through the «-» button)
* Adding full caching support to reduce server load
ICS Calendar
Fetch and display events from a calendar (.ics) URL in your blog. This plugin provides a graphical interface for adding and customizing the format of how calendar events are displayed on your site. It also includes a widget for displaying events in the sidebar. There is also a new addition of a calendar that you can place on your blog, which uses AJAX. This plugin uses a highly modified version of ical-events, which does not provide a GUI.

wpng-calendar
The Wordpress Google calendar plugin allows for the integration of a Google calendar into a Wordpress blog. The Calendar data can be displayed in three ways: in a widget, on a page, or as it’s own entity in a div tag somewhere.
WPListCal
WPListCal allows you to list upcoming events on your blog in a list or table format. It plugs straight into the Wordpress admin pages to let you keep track of events just like posts and pages. You can then list events on a page or post using a special tag, or incorporate events into your theme files using a PHP function call.
