Google-maps – fetch Google Maps Events through the Google Maps API

google maps

I've just seen that Google Maps has an option "Events" in a few cities (London, Zurich,… etc). I need them for a project.

Is there a way to get these results with Google Maps API?

There is no events function in the Maps API. It's likely the site you saw was using another data source with the Maps API. What's the fun of a mashup if everything is in the same API? :)
