An event in Magic can be any change in any facet of the game state. The rules are purposely vague on what they can be. Therefore the term event is used multiple time in the comprehensive rules, but never formally defined.

They are watched for by several kinds of effects, which will define their specific event in their texts. When that event happens (for a triggered ability), or just before it would happen (for replacement and prevention effects), these effects make something else happen.
