You could use this jQuery plugin which makes use of jQuery-UI's date picker

Just query your database and return a JSON object in this format

{
    "entries": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "title": "My First Entry",
            "start": "2010-07-14 11:11:00",
            "finish": "2010-07-14 14:23:18",
            "user": {
                "name": "Joe"
            }
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "title": "My Second Entry",
            "start": "2010-07-14 11:11:00",
            "finish": "2010-07-15 14:23:18",
            "user": {
                "name": "Joe"
            }
        }
    ]
}

then just add it as an option to the plugin:

$eventCal.EventCalendar({
        // Ajax Variables
        /** The JSON variable that will be return on the AJAX request which will contain our entries */
        ajaxEntriesVariable: 'entries',
        /** The AJAX url to request for our entries */
        ajaxEntriesUrl: './eventcalendar.json'
});
