Displaying categories on site pages

Using event categories, you can display any group of events on any page.
For example, you can create separate pages for jazz, blues, and folk events, but also pages for different locations. The same jazz event can be displayed on your jazz page and also on your downtown location page. 
To set this up, just create categories for each music genre and each location and connect the relevant events to each one.
