The following definitions are from the calendar help glossary:
event - A calendar entry that represents something that will happen whether you take action or not. For example, meetings and birthdays are events.
task - A calendar entry that represents some action by you. For example, writing a report and visiting a client are tasks.
In general, an event is something you schedule on the calendar, and it happens at a specific time and place. A task occurs over time, and while it may need to be started at a specific time or completed by a specific time, the task itself does not.
Finally, it should be noted that tasks can only be displayed in the main calendar in certain views. (ie. multiweek)
Example: A staff meeting is an event; it happens at 9:00am on the 10th.
Calling everyone on staff to review the agenda for the meeting is a task; it must be completed by 5pm on the 9th.
That is, an event is scheduled at a specific time and a task spans a period of time
