Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'

<h2>Featured Event's</h2>
<body>
<table cellpadding="10">
<tbody>
<?php echo ?><td><?php $eventname ?></td><?php echo?><td><?php $row_id ?></td><?php

You can either do that or do:

<td><?php echo $eventname ?></td><td><?php echo $row_id ?></td>

Or

<?php echo "<td>$eventname</td><td>$row_id</td>"; ?>

You can't replace " with ?>. The ?> ends the PHP context and terminates whichever statement is open. Everything between <?php and ?> needs to be one or more complete statements.

Choose either of these:

<?php

echo "<td>$eventname</td><td>$row_id</td></tr>"

Or

<tr>
  <td><?= $eventname ?></td>
  <td><?= $row_id ?></td>
</tr>

You're also missing an opening <tr>, which isn't optional.
