      {% assign event_month = event.startDate | date: '%B %Y' %}

      {% if event_month != current_month %}
        {% unless current_month == '' %}

        {% endunless %}
        <h3 class="month-header">{{ event_month }}</h3>
        <div class="month-events">

      {% render 'components/event-item' event: event %}

      {% if forloop.last %}</div>{% endif %}

{# Group events by their series #}
{% if season.events.size > 0 %}

    {% for group in events_by_series %}

          {% endfor %}
        </div>
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  </section>
{% endif %}

Working with Theme-Specific Fields

{# Template schema defines: season_brochure, subscription_packages, season_announcement_html #}

{% if season.theme.season_announcement_html %}
  <div class="season-announcement">
    {{ season.theme.season_announcement_html }}
  </div>
{% endif %}

{% if season.theme.season_brochure %}
  <a href="{{ season.theme.season_brochure | file_url }}" class="btn btn--secondary" download>
    Download Season Brochure
  </a>
{% endif %}

{% if season.theme.subscription_packages.size > 0 %}
  <section class="subscription-packages">
    <h2>Subscription Packages</h2>
    {% for package in season.theme.subscription_packages %}
      <div class="package-card">
        <h3>{{ package.name }}</h3>
        <p>{{ package.description }}</p>
        {% if package.link %}
          <a href="{{ package.link }}" class="btn">Learn More</a>
        {% endif %}
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  </section>
