You don't specify parent resource therefore you can't use it as parameter in your new_event_path URL helper and generate path like '/parent_resource/:parent_resource_id/events/new'. So, in you case just use any URL parameter i.e. group_id:

= link_to 'Create Event', new_event_path(group_id: @group)

it will generate URL: /events/new?group_id=17

In this case the action will use group_id parameter:

def new     
   @event = Event.new(city: current_user.profile.city, group_id: params[:group_id])
end
