How do I create a view to DISPLAY ALL EVENTS
Welcome to StackExchange Daniel. You are probably talking about this view: Events &gt; Dashboard, which indeed only shows upcoming events and recents registrations.
There is another page, Events &gt; Manage Events, that allows you to search and filter for events or show all events including past ones.

You could of course also create a report to list all (relevant) events and/or participants.
