Jquery Datepicker Issues with adding events

Question

I am trying to make a date picker with a bunch of events that I pull from an rss feed. To make the datepicker I pretty much copy this post: jQuery UI Datepicker : how to add clickable events on particular dates?

The issue I am having is that I keep getting the error event.Date is undefined. I think this may be because of how I am passing in the dates. The dates come from a collection of strings on page load, that are converted like this:

//Convert objects
currentEventInformationString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(currentStoreEventInformation);
eventDatesString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(storeEventDates);

Where currentEventInformationString is a collection of strings containing a title, description, and link and eventDateString is a collection of strings that are dates (I get it from a method that returns date.ToShortDateString();

I then add all of my dates to an event array like so (in js):

//Adds each event to the date picker
for (var x = 0; x < eventDates.length; x++) {
    //Adds event
    events[x] = [{ Title: currentEvents[x].title.toString(), Date: new Date(eventDates[x].toString()) }];
}

I have then tried running a console.debug(events[x].Title + " " + events[x].Date); but every time I undefined undefined

When I run a debug like this: console.debug(currentEvents[x].title.toString() + " " + eventDates[x].toString()); I get the correct values so I know that that is not the issue. Any suggestions?

Also: I know that the question seems vague so I tried to include as much sample code as I thought was relevant. If you need more let me know. To see how the date picker is made look at the link.

Edit Here is how I declare events:

//Current event
var events = new Array(eventDates.length);

I added in how I declare events in the edit. And after running console.log(events) I found that events is getting filled with the correct information — Soatl

I think you have a stray set of brackets. This:

events[x] = [{
    Title: currentEvents[x].title.toString(),
    Date: new Date(eventDates[x].toString())
}];

Is assigning an array that contains one object literal to events[x] but I think you just want to assign an object to events[x]:

events[x] = {
    Title: currentEvents[x].title.toString(),
    Date: new Date(eventDates[x].toString())
};
