Events are expansions to the game in the sense that they provide new stories, characters, buildings and other rewards. Events last for a limited amount of time, during which players have to earn these rewards by ordering characters to perform tasks only available during the event in question.
New characters and outfits are unlocked the usual way - by gathering items for them. Buildings are bought for event-specific currency earned by some characters.
Based on time length, there are two types of events - major events and mini (weekend) events. The former usually last for three weeks, while the latter for one.

Certain features accompany the events: during major events a Season Pass becomes available which offers a list of extra prizes players can get as they gather event currency. During one week events the Time Machine allows players to earn prizes as sort of a gambling game.
Currently the developers are working on inplementing difficulty options for major events, meaning higher difficulty settinga will probably yield, among other things, more currency and material rewards from the Season Pass, while its tiers will require more event currency to be collected.

These are the events in Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff that were only on for a limited amount of time:
