Hello there!
When you convert a classic page into a block page, the WordPress editor tries to parse the original page and produce compatible blocks. In this case, it seems like this has failed and the HTML is not correctly converted. There is a quick and easy fix if you don’t want to re-write all your events:
When selecting your custom HTML block, you will see a toolbar appear above the block. Click: “Preview”, this will show the visual rendering of the HTML, which is more helpful.
At that point, you can select all the content of your page and copy it (CTRL+C or CMD+C on a Mac). Go to the bottom of your page and add a new Paragraph block. Then paste your content (CTRL+V or CMD+V on a Mac).
The blocks should now be parsed correctly and you will see your events as easily editable “Paragraph” blocks. You can proceed from there to make your page more easily navigable and SEO friendly (for example, changing certain Paragraphs to Headings), but this is beyond the point for now.
Now you can go back to your HTML block and just remove it. You’ll have a new block page!
I hope this helps!
Let me know if you need more help,
Lucio
