How to use:
Enable ICS Calendar in your plugin list.
Add a shortcode to your page where you want it to be displayed. (In Classic Editor, use two angle brackets around the syntax of your choice in the content area. In Block Editor, add a Shortcode block and put the syntax of your choice into that block, also inside two angle brackets.)
Get an ICS calendar link from the calendar of your choice (including Illinois WebTools, Google, Microsoft 365, or more).
Then go to https://icscalendar.com/shortcode-builder/ and choose the options you want for your display.
Here are some examples using the master Registrar’s calendar from WebTools. Many more options are available; use the vendor’s short code builder to adjust your output.
