Google seems to be no longer showing the events carousel, event rich results, in the desktop search results. I see them on mobile search but I cannot trigger them on any browser on desktop search.
Here is a screenshot of how it looks on mobile:
But for the same query on desktop, i.e. [events near me], I cannot see an events carousel show up.
Vijay Chauhan spotted this weirdness, potentially a bug, this morning and posted about it on X - he asked:
Now I've found that Google has stopped showing event-rich results for desktop devices.Is this a bug or what? Google has not posted any updates for these changes yet. (missing since Saturday, 19th April)

Is this a bug or what? Google has not posted any updates for these changes yet. (missing since Saturday, 19th April) @rustybrick can you replicate this? ( Search events near me on desktop ) pic.twitter.com/U7nPrJL3Nm
I suspect this is some sort of bug that Google will address in the coming hours/days.
Forum discussion at X.
Update: A fix and maybe update is rolling out:
I can also see this new layout on desktop ( similar to mobile layout), so Google might plan to roll out this new layout for desktop (generated with the same query in login mode). After clicking on an event, a modal opens on the right side." pic.twitter.com/nty9jX1RO7
