Category Icon

I would like to show an image icon next to the event title of the event
if the category=’christmas’ on the above linked url. Can this be done?

Yes, you can use has_term() to check if an event has a particular taxonomy term:

<?php 
if ( has_term( 'christmas', 'event-category', get_the_ID() ) {
     //event has category with slug 'christmas', display icon
}
?>

Thank you Stephen. It took me a while to make it work, but here is the final code I used in my custom file – shortcode-event-list.php

<td valign="top"><!-- Is event category 'christmas' -->
<?php 
if ( has_term( 'christmas', 'event-category' )) {
    //event has category with slug 'christmas', display icon
    printf('<img src="http://visitroswellga.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bow-icon.png" alt="Roswell Christmas Event" />' );
}
?>
</td>

I use a plugin called “WP Custom taxonomy Image” (By Aftab Husain) in order to have a field to add the image icon to my category.

Here are the results: http://visitroswellga.com/community-calendar/community/calendar-christmas-events/
