The word “üritus” refers to any kind of intentionally organized event, like a concert or theatre play.

For unplanned events, i.e. things that just “happened”, you’d use the words “sündmus, -e, -t, -i” (likely from “sündima” - “to be born”) or “juhtum, -i, -it, -eid” (from “juhtuma” - “to happen”).
