The simplest thing you can do is install the Demo Templates that come with Calendar. You can do this by going to the Calendar module CP area, and then click on Demo Templates tab. Proceed with the installation there. You'll then be able to see how an average site using Calendar could/should be constructed, how the template tags interact with each other, and what each template tag does. :)
Referencing the Calendar:Events documentation, you can see a proper way to develop your template code, or in your case, generate a list (?) of entries:
<ul>
{exp:calendar:events
orderby="title"
sort="asc"
date_range_start="today"
show_months="3"
}
<li>
<a href="{path='calendar/event'}/{event_id}/">
{event_title}
</a>
{event_start_date format="%l, %F %j, %Y"}
</li>
{if calendar_no_results}
<li>No Results</li>
{/if}
{/exp:calendar:events}
</ul>
All that said, I have a feeling you MAY be more interested in generating a list of events in chronological order (specifically in the case where you have recurring events). Calendar:Events just displays each event group as 1 result (no matter how many recurrences you have of it), while Calendar:Cal will display ALL of the occurrences, and put them in the right order. If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you check out this documentation page for more information (it explains the differences between these 2 template tags). :)
If you do wish to display a chronological list of occurrences (instead of just event "groupings"), then the code you'd want to use is:
<ul>
{exp:calendar:cal
date_range_start="today"
show_months="6"
pad_short_weeks="n"
}
<li>
<a href="{path='calender/event'}/{event_id}/">
{event_title}
</a>
({event_start_date format="%F %j, %Y"})
</li>
{if no_results}
<li>No Results</li>
{/if}
{/exp:calendar:cal}
</ul>
And then finally, being that you're linking to the event located at "calendar/event", in your template located at "calendar/event", be sure to have code like the following:
{exp:calendar:events
orderby="title"
sort="asc"
event_id="{segment_3}"
date_range_start="today"
show_months="3"
}
{if calendar_no_results}
No Results
{/if}
<div class="event">
<h2>{event_title}</h2>
<p>From Calendar:
<a href="{path='calendar/calendars'}/{event_calendar_id}/">
{event_calendar_title}
</a>
</p>
<p>Details:{event_summary}</p>
<p>Location: {event_location}</p>
<h3>Upcoming Occurrences in the next 3 months:</h3>
<ul>
{occurrences}
<li>
<a href="{path='calendar/day'}/{occurrence_start_date format="%Y/%m/%d"}/">
{occurrence_start_date format="%l, %F %j, %Y at %g:%i%a"}
</a> - {occurrence_end_date format="%l, %F %j, %Y at %g:%i%a"}
</li>
{/occurrences}
</ul>
</div>
