If you need that kind of detailed information six months out, 
then--as Suvdchin suggested--ask your friends if events like 
Candlemas or Twelfth Night or Gothic War are typically one-day or a 
full weekend. Or--as Caelin said--contact the event steward or local 
seneschal/B&B. It's pretty unlikely that the Calendar Deputy is going 
to know those details.
