For many years, well since MOSS 2007 was released, I have always wanted to use the Content Query Web Part to display the results of multiple calendars.

I know there are many different projects to do this, free ones on Codeplex such as the Planet Wilson Colour Calendar and the SharePoint Enhanced Calendar by ArtfulBits  as well as the Bamboo Solutions SharePoint Calendar Plus Web Part which you can pay for. These are all great projects and solutions,

BUT

All I want is the plain old simple content query web part to work as it always has and display a calendar view. Users know how to use it and this way I don’t have to train them on a new web part.

So what I did was create a calendar view for the content query web part (or ContentByQueryWebPart). There is one change that was made from what you might expect, and that is I appended which site the calendar is from at the start of the calendar title

Please feel free to download and use this Web Part in you SharePoint environment

n.b If the calendar is not showing all the events make sure that you have increased the Item Limit under Presentation in the Web Part Properties
