I'm not sure that's what the original question was about. I definitely read that as wanting an alert when an event already in the calendar is going to happen. That's quite easy to set up in settings, under notifications, for the calendar app - make sure that notifications are turned on, then turn on alerts for upcoming events.
In addition to the notification shade "today" widget, you can also ask Siri. "Hey Siri, do I have anything scheduled for March 3?"
