Display settings in the Events calendar plugin need to be changed so that the styles match the theme. To set that up:

  1. Go to Events -> Settings
  2. Click on the "Display" Tab
  3. Under "Default stylesheet used for events templates" select "Skeleton Styles"
  4. For "Events template" select "Default Events template"
  5. For "Enable event views" uncheck everything but "List"
