In 2014, Disboard poster Geemo started a thread that listed the major conventions, events, and school breaks at or near DLR. Dis'ers seemed to find the thread helpful, so a 2015 version, a 2016 version, a 2017 version, a 2018 version, a 2019 version, and a 2020 version were created. This is a continuation of those threads, but for 2022!
This is NOT an official Calendar, for reference only. This is also not an all inclusive list, but I will do my best to keep it up to date. Please let me know if you hear of anything to add to the list.

Magic Key Blockout Calendar
Oct 25, 2021 (Mon): Dream Magic Key Sales Suspended
Nov 24, 2021 (Wed): Believe Magic Key Sales Suspended
Anaheim Convention Center
This list does not include all of the conventions/events scheduled at the Anaheim Convention Center. It is only a partial listing. A full listing is available on the Anaheim Convention Center Calendar. In terms of the conventions, for the most part, it doesn't seem like the conventions necessarily increase crowds in the parks. Large conventions are more likely to impacts availability at area hotels/motels and crowds in DTD (primarily in the evenings). There maybe some impacts of the days immediately before or after the conventions, but only a few conventions (e.g., D23 Expo) seem to actually result in Dis'ers reporting higher than expected crowds in the parks themselves. So, while large (or at least ones that look large on the calendar) conventions are listed in the calendar above, it does not mean that the parks will be busier than expected.
Honda Center
The Honda Center may also host events that could impact crowds at Disneyland.
