# Community Events Template Files

Community Events come with a number of template files that determine how the add-on looks and behaves. We call these templates **views** because they create the pages and elements that you see on your site.

Each template can be copied and [customized in your theme folder](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/customize-template-files/).
