SharePoint Classic Calendar view

In this post, we will see how to create a modern calendar view by default for your SharePoint events list.

## Force New Experience of the List Views

To allow to create a new modern view, it is necessary to force the new experience of the list view; because even if you change the classic calendar view by "All items" the experience is still in classic mode.

1. Go to your **Events List** parameters  
  - From Site contents
  - List content
