The Lowdown:

This plugin is a simple way to be able to include a menu in area that otherwise do not allow for a menu, the caveat is that it does not always work. I had tried this in the hopes it would solve an issue for me on a project but unfortunately found out the area I wanted to put it into do not execute short codes. It does work find wherever you can execute a short code and makes placing menus an easy task. If you are inclined you can even add some customization’s to the menu and tweak the CSS to your liking.

Dan’s Embedder for Google Calendar

https://wordpress.org/plugins/dans-gcal/

By Dan Dulaney https://profiles.wordpress.org/duplaja/

Dan’s Embedder for Google Calendar was created out of a need to display Google calendars in both list and full view in a way that was mobile friendly, customizable via shortcode, and easy to style. No need to import events or manage them directly in WordPress. All you need is a public Google Calendar (or multiple!) and a free, easy to get API key.
