I would use a database to pull the info and then all that would be filtered through in the “select” statement

Just do a check to see whether the day has come, then mark a field in the database for the event as happened. In the select statement, have a WHERE `happened`=‘0’, to select all the events to come. Mark all the other events with a 1. You could also just delete the event, up to you.
