In the Flutter Event Calendar, you can programmatically navigate to the adjacent dates by using the forward and backward method of CalendarController.

Inside the state, initialize the calendar controller.

final CalendarController? _controller = CalendarController();

Use the forward and backward properties of controller for programmatically change the adjacent dates.

Row(
  children: [
    Container(
    margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(30, 20, 0, 20),
      child: RaisedButton.icon(
        icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back),
        label: Text('Backward'),
        onPressed: () {
          _controller.backward();
        },
      ),
    ),
    Container(
    margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(70, 20, 0, 20),
      child: RaisedButton.icon(
        label: Text('Forward'),
        icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_forward),
        onPressed: () {
          _controller.forward();
        },
      ),
    )
  ],
),

Assign _controller to the controller property of the calendar.
