Why does the below still delete even if I hit cancel on the alert popup? What am I missing?

onClick="confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete '.esc_attr($this->event_name).'?\')"

    If you return false from your onclick handler it will cancel the default action of the click. So try this:

    onClick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete '.esc_attr($this->event_name).'?\')"

    That will return whatever value the confirm() returns, i.e., true if you click OK and false otherwise.
