Ruby on Rails, how do parameter-passing to controller?

I have Event Calendar. I have standart link to create new event (it was created in views by scaffolding): 

<%= link_to 'New Event', new_event_path %>

Now I need put same link to each day of calendar table and pass the date as parameter to controller

I do:

<%= link_to '+', new_event_path(date) %>

And I would like to have it in controller and do something like that

  def new
    @event = Event.new

    if params[:date]
      @event.date = params[:date]
    end

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # new.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @event }
    end
  end

But it doesn't work. If I click to my new link I get the URL like http://localhost:3000/events/new.2013-04-02 and a blank page.

How it should be realized correctly?

You can pass additional like this:

<%= link_to '+', new_event_path(date: date) %>
