There is currently no way to "loop through" calendar events in e.g a template for an automation or a script.
You can access the current, or next upcoming, event directly in the calendar entity, but that is about it.
There are API endpoints that will list events between dates, but there is no easy way to use these in a template.
Proposal
Add a function to the CalendarEntry or the state object so it would be possible to create something like
{% for event in calendar.my_calendar.get_events(from=timestamp, to=timestamp) %}
...
{% endfor %}
Consequences
Simple use cases are for instance a TTS notification that reads out loud all of todays calendar events in the morning, or an automation with a condition that an event with certain title is happening sometime in the next few days, without necessarily triggering the automation based on the time that event actually starts.
