In this post, I have compiled a list of useful jQuery date picker and calendar plugins, which will allow you to easily add calenders and date pickers in your web design. Some of these jQuery plugins are free while others are premium versions.

A calender is a quite powerful tool. It will help you keep track of the date and appointments, but also help remind you of important events. With the advances in technology, we are increasingly becoming dependent on mobile devices and Internet. A lot of people have moved on and left their paper calender behind and they will often expect you to have an easy to use calender on your website to show events, releases and so on.

Below, you will find a collection of 25 jQuery calendar plugins and date pickers that can extend the functionality of your website. You can incorporate these plugins directly into your website since they only need minor styling and adjustments.  Thus, you should modify the style of the calendar as well, to fit your own or your clients preferences.
