Thanks for flagging this @Bennylin. This is a bug in the calendar system that came about with a recent software update. We hope to have a patch in place in a few weeks. For the time being, notifications like this or an email to diff@wikimedia.org lets us know, and folks with the right permissions can publish events manually. I've done so for your event. Please reach out if you need to change anything.

I'm gonna leave this ticket open until the patch is in place in case others stumble across the same issue.

Not-so-fun fact. It's a bug in the core of WordPress itself!

Log time to reply, apologies. I want to note this was fixed in WordPress core last year after being reported.
