I'm looking for a way to wrap the event text, is there a way?

Not possible with an easy and simple modification or trick. this module is intentionally designed so. If you are a CSS guru, you may find a solution with complex tricks, but it will cause headaches and unexpected design issues. Do you really want to READ THE WHOLE EVENT TITLE which will happen after 3 weeks later? A month view is a kind of summary not for focusing on a specific event. The UI of MagicMirror is supposed to be displayed with limited interfaces.

You'd better keep the month view simply to glance over. For the specific event (probably it will come nearly like today or tomorrow), the default calendar module or MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda would be better for your intention.

To help to look over the monthly summary, you can use other hints like specific colours, and icons, and even you can transform a long title to a shorter and simpler form. For example, you can abbreviate Frank's birthday to 🎂 Frank. It would be more distinguishable and pretty.

By the way, in the MM Forum somewhere, I left the 2-lines title modified example, but I forgot where it was. And still I do not recommend text-wrapping for this view.
