Facebook threw away one of their best social features: events. It used to be front and center when you logged into Facebook. Now it's hidden away in menus.

They still publish an ical. Just got to https://www.facebook.com/events/calendar/ and click on Upcoming Events on the right.

That's good, but the UI/UX was actually quite great. Differentiated between invites/accepted events, showed birthdays separately, even had opportunity for suggested (sponsored) content (not sure if that was ever used). It was very quick and easy to find past events too.

They even do the opposite. Maybe a half a year ago they removed one of the best features Facebook had - the event calendar. My guess is to promote a standalone events app that was released around that time.. but the app doesn't seem to be around any longer, and the events calendar is still gone. Replaced by a shitty list of upcoming events.
