Sounds like it should be doable with extra [1]. Completely untested,
but you get the idea:
from django.db import connection
opts = Event._meta
Event.objects.extra(where=["""
DATE(%(event)s.%(date)s) IN
(
SELECT DISTINCT DATE(%(event)s.%(date)s)
FROM %(event)s
ORDER BY 1 DESC
%(limit)s
)""" % {
'event': connection.ops.quote_name(opts.db_table),
'date': connection.ops.quote_name(opts.get_field('date').column),
'limit': connection.ops.limit_offset_sql(5),
}])

Use the {% ifchanged %} tag [2] (obviously, you'd be formatting the
date whatever way you want it instead):
{% for event in events %}
{% ifchanged %}{{ event.date }}{% endifchanged %}
{% endfor %}
