In order to create an event, you have to issue an HTTP POST request. This is straight from the facebook graph api documentation: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/#events

An HTTP POST request is basically like submitting a form with method="post". You can use cURL to do this fairly easily:

curl \
    –F 'access_token=[PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
    -F 'batch=[ \
          { "method": "POST", \
            "relative_url": "[PAGE_ID]/events", \
            "body": "name=[EVENT_NAME]&start_time=[UNIX_TIMESTAMP]" \
          }, \
        ]'\
    https://graph.facebook.com

You can refer to the section on batch request for more help on this: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/batch/
